Called in out of the blue on a Sunday afternoon. Found the staff to be accommodating and helpful. The food, Roast beef dinner was excellent, the vegetables were cooked to perfection and the amount was filling. Service was excellent. The sweets were absolutely fabulous as well. Highly recommend this hostelry to everybody!!!

I had a 2 course meal which cost 24 I was reasonably satisfied but had my husband had the same would have come away hungry. I think I will go for the light meal option next time as my friend's meal was much more substantial than mine.

Beautiful setup and very welcoming. Food was gorgeous and thoroughly enjoyed. Prices were a bit on a high side but large portion of tasty food so worth it! Will visit again on a family special or a good friends gathering occasion.

The servers were really attentive, friendly, and able to accommodate almost anything we asked of them (except being able to turn the music down just a pinch - that's maybe the one, very minor, downside of the entire experience). The food was very good too. I ordered the mackerel croquettes which were delicious and the featherblade
