First time visitors and will definitely be back. I had the new lamb shank with mash and minted greens. The lamb was cooked to perfection, smooth mash and the greens had a lovely crunch to them but weren't raw. My partner opted for the duck which is also a new addition, again, the entire plate was cooked beautifully. Staff were welcoming and really down to earth we didn't want for anything.

What an amazing find this was. Amazing Sunday Roast and fudge cake, service was brilliant as they found us a seat even though they were fully booked. Nice quiet atmosphere and child friendly. Can't wait to be back!
