    Absolutely fantastic experience. Very polite staff showed us to our table and went through the chefs specials while we looked at the rest of the menu. Both had a soup starter which was piping hot and served with a crusty roll. My wife opted for the Salmon main and I had the Belly Pork both off the specials menu and we weren’t disappointed. Cooked to perfection and well proportioned. For desert it was cheesecake special (Oreo) and a Bread & Butter pudding for myself, and what a way to top off a great dining experience. All in all, a fantastic night out in a warm and spacious setting and in no way felt hurried to finish our meal.
