Been many times before for the amazing breakfasts. Booked for the 3 course Christmas lunch with two friends, and as usual couldn’t fault anything at all! Food was cooked to perfection, and enjoyed by all. The staff made sure we had everything we needed, asking if we would like extra veg and gravy, nothing was too much trouble for them. Looking forward to our visits next year! 😊
