"Had a delicious Sunday Roast today with the family! I ordered the venison skewers and roast beef which was all beautifully presented and definitely up there with one of the best roast dinners I have had.

I am also gluten free and the family ordered focaccia, to ensure I didn’t miss out, the waiter Shirai brought out some mini gluten free rolls which was lovely & thoughtful!!
Shout out to Shirai who was very friendly and was there if we needed anything! He even helped us when the lift wasn’t working haha!
Lovely atmosphere, great food & Service! We will definitely be coming back!"
