We had a very enjoyable lunch today at the Old England Hotel with our group of friends. The setting was relaxed and our table private with a view of the garden. The service was spot on from the time we arrived. We can't thank the staff enough for their diligence and professionalism. Well done all, we'll be back again later this year to have another group luncheon here.

Really enjoyed a good meal here. Service was great. Only one small criticism, order Vietnamese’s cashew salad, which was good, but only got one cashew!
