Came hear after the rugby with my parents. The staff were very helpful and accommodating. I had booked a table at the bar, but the staff managed to move us to the restaurant area. As always food was great, 3 roast beef dinners was enjoyed by all. Will definitely be back. Thank you all for your assistance this evening.
