Our family and four had a booking for the three course Sunday lunch. The sevice was excellent as was the food. My roast beef was cooked to perfection - really tender. My husband's lamb shank was delicious and both my daughters enjoyed the chicken breast. All the vegetables were cooked properly - compliments to the chef. We all dessert - eclaires for two, lemon posset for me and ginger sponge for my husband. All excellent. Having said this, perhaps the option of a two-course Sunday menu would be welcome as the portion sizes are quite generous. perhaps this is just a personal observation. For a decent meal locally, we always choose Morley Hayes.

Had an incredible night celebrating our anniversary. Tasting experience was incredibly interesting and unique. The staff went above and beyond to accommodate my partner's gluten intolerance, and every team member we spoke to were amiable, polite and great conversationalists.
