My husband and I always have a lovely time at Worlington Hall... a scrummy Camembert starter to share followed by a delicious Sunday roast (we had beef) meant we didn't have room for pud! A few large G&T's in the Birnam Bar to finish before we wobbled off home - perfect xx

Today was a day to celebrate a special occasion, and we thought the place to go to was Roy's Restaurant. We have been there before and could not think of a better place to go back too. After being welcomed to our seat we were offered a menu full of different choices to eat. When the meals arrived, they were very presentable and when tasted, tasted really nice. It helped make the celebration memorable. The restaurant will always be the restaurant of choice and is highly recommended
