We had a an absolutely lovely evening, and the food was amazing. We came for dinner and to see the live music, "The Boneshakers", which both were an absolute treat. The Lady greeting us when we arrived was outstanding in her service, super friendly and very attentive, even got a blanket for the dogs to sit on. The only small minus point was the temperature, we felt a bit chilly, especially in the dining room, but its nothing that would keep us from not returning!
