Friday evening, I and sixteen others experienced a fantastic meal in the upstairs resturant. The service was efficient and friendly with an excellent range of choices. I had the beef and bird sandwich, which consists of... More

It is a good job I did not turn on my heel and walk out after being totally ignored by the receptionist - I couldn't actually believe it was happening: she was on the phone, obviously to a friend, I got a cursory glance then ignored! I waited.....and waited.....and was just about to go when luckily another member of staff... More

The staff could not have done enough for us ensuring our night was success, checking several times if we needed anything and we were given... More
