    Very nice meal. The veggies were delicious. Slow cooked pork was a bit tough. Sorry but it wasn’t cooked slow enough. Lovely cracking and very generous portion but a little more attention needed to the slow cooking. The ginger crumb dessert was absolutely delicious.

    An excellent Sunday lunch. I had the Roast Beef and my guests had the Roast Turkey. All cooked perfectly with generous and even proportions of meat, roast potatoes and veg. Nice desserts too. All very satisfied and service was excellent. Excellent value too.
