We attended The Nook for our work Christmas lunch this year. Within our group we had a few different dietary requirements, all of which were met perfectly by the staff. They were very cautious and attentive where it came to ensuring we all had exactly what we needed. The staff were lovely and extremely professional- topping up our drinks and making sure to take away our dirty plates soon after we were all finished. The food was absolutely delicious and all cooked to our specification (Fillet of beef) We can’t wait to return again next year for our Christmas lunch again, if not sooner!
