Seven of us had a most enjoyable lunch at the Centurion today. We have dined here before and returned because of the excellent service and food experienced previously. The same high standards of both food and service were provided by the restaurant team again today. The dining room is spacious and well presented, adding to the quality of the experience. An outstanding place to eat.
