Lovely welcome, making you feel special and valued. Grateful thanks at the end of the meal too. Food was.....F.A.B.U.L.O.U.S!!! Home made and SO fresh and delicious. I live in Harrogate (an hour away up the M1) but will do the drive again just for the meal again early next year, well worth the trip! Thank you
