    This is a yearly tradition for my dad and I since my mum passed away. This was our fourth year coming (2024). It’s a perfect spot and great start to my birthday celebrations, being a Christmas day baby!!

    Beautiful setting. Meals too big & therefore you don’t want dessert or more drinks. One Meal advertised as ‘baked ham’ unfortunately my hubby thought that would be a fresh baked ham but was just sliced cold ham. He sadly was disappointed. Otherwise meals were nice but far too big. Service was good, lovely friendly waitress & waiter. Quick delivery of meals too.
