We had a wonderful evening thank you with very good food. However having called in earlier in the day to say we were bringing someone in a wheelchair, that was not remembered when we arrived. However it was quickly remedied and we were all seated very comfortably.

This was our first visit to the restaurant and my gosh was we pleasantly surprised. We visited to celebrate my husbands birthday and he was extremely happy. This was the best food we have ever eaten. The service could have been improved towards the end of the visit as when it got busy we was slightly forgotten and staff needed prompting a couple of times for different things. We will definitely be back this was an amazing visit thank you so so much.

Really nice food. The beyond mountain burger was delicious and the chips were the best I’ve ever tasted. The service was great. We had a lovely time.
