    Chicken bites starter are to die for. Really tasty roast lamb, with mint gravy, plenty of it. Try to come every 2 weeks, because we enjoy so much.

    Another great Sunday roast lunch . I again had a table for 12 booked from our social group and it is always popular. We gave our menu choice in advance and it worked out really well. The staff were very accommodating and service was good. My guests have left good reviews on our group website. See you again in a couple of months for another lunch. Thank you.
