We had a lovely meal and experience with one notable exception. Each of the 4 people who ordered the Pork main course were disappointed with their meal. We had expected a roast pork meal. The offering was altogether too firm and the plate entirely brown. This was a big disappointment to half of our party. The other half of the party were entirely happy.

Lovely lunch with friends today. Service was excellent with someone who clearly enjoyed his job and explained the menu for us. Food was good and nobody minded us lounging over coffee/tea. Highly recommend and dog friendly too!
