The worst meal I’ve ever had.. wouldn’t give my dog the fillet steak on the menus for £29. Sent back and asked for the burger instead, just as bad. McDonald’s is better quality! Save your money and go to Miller & Carter if you want a proper steak.

Saturday afternoon booked for afternoon tea for 3. Fantastic service warm welcome with a delicious variety of sweet and savoury delights. Well worth the drive out. Keep up the great work we will be back soon. No photos too busy enjoying the food.
