Friendly and helpful staff. We enjoyed the pies & generous portions of food but the seasonal greens weren’t cooked well with the roast meal either.

We were having a family lunch and hadn't seen some people for a while and one of our party was having trouble hearing. Had we known that we might have checked that out ahead of time. However, the food was fantastic, as was the service and everybody was very kind and helpful. Would recommend in an instant.
