We had an excellent lunch. The Christmas pie which 3 of us had was delicious with plenty of turkey, stuffing and sausage. Additional vegetables of Broccoli stems, carrot and cauliflower were plentiful and the gravy was tasty too. Excellent service from our waiter and we look forward to another visit soon.
