We were a group of 5 celebrating a 30th birthday on a surprise weekend away. Everyone enjoyed their choices of meals from a good, varied, menu and the staff were friendly and attentive without being overwhelming. We had delivered a cake to them the previous evening and this arrived and was presented to the birthday boy who was sung to by all the diners. The cake was then taken away to be cut for us.
