What an amazing, special place Fischers Hall is. I would like to say a huge thank you to all of the staff at Fischers, from the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome and the service was exceptional. Every member of staff we met from the house keepers to the sommelier went that extra mile. Our upgraded room was beautiful, it made my husbands 40th birthday extra special. We felt very lucky. The food and wine pairings were incredible. Thank you to the front of house staff and of course to the kitchen. Thank you for an unforgettable evening and stay.
