    I have visited this venue many times and have always had great experiences. This time I met with friends for our Christmas gathering and we had a lovely time. The food was delicious with a nice selection of sandwiches and cakes. The atmosphere and service very good. My only complaint would be that we didn’t have as much time together as we would have liked due to them closing. My booking was made for 2.30pm and they closed at 4.30. If I were to return I would make an earlier booking to have more time.
