You are always given a friendly welcome. The staff are very efficient. The food is excellent with plenty of choice. We do not feel there needs to be any improvement. Just continue as things are at present.

Great atmosphere, great service, only a small issue but using tinned tomatoes for breakfast makes the plate a little soggy. Will definitely come again and recommend to friends.

The food was cooked to order and was excellent. The availability of sweets was limited. A very nice setting but was very quiet when we visited and lacked atmosphere. But we enjoyed our visit and will return.

i am disabled and you only have 1 blue badge parking spot which was occupied by somone without a blur badge. I had to park around th back on a muddy car park and walk with a stick to the reataurant. And then back again afterwards. Not only tiring but hazardous and would not come again unless i could reserve a space near the front door.
