It was a lovely dinner and the staff were very friendly and the service was good. The pork we ordered off the set menu was extremely fatty that most of the meal was left on the plate due to the fact it was mostly fat. However, the little meat that was in the dish was delicious. The rose and strawberry dessert was fantastic!
