Although staff were very friendly, we often had to wait a while to get their attention, despite being very quiet. Scones were over baked and crumbled upon cutting them. Young man that first served was very nice and the rest of the food was very nice.

Great meal in lovely location. Restaurant elegant with a relaxed atmosphere. Menu not large but had a good varied choice. Food well cooked and beautifully presented. Reasonably priced. Only criticism would be the lack of vegetables with the meal - they were more of a garnish. Would have liked a side dish of veg especially as the meat portions were quite large. Would definitely recommend.
