Went for a birthday dinner and throughout March 2012, every friday, they add a buffet to the menu list. March is all you can eat Roast Lamb and unlimited salads.

The staff were professional and attentive, the food excellent - the best roast beef - and a good wine list. An excellent evening at... More
