Booked a meal for Hubby, Son & myself in the Lounge for my Son’s birthday, it was such a lovely meal that we booked for the Sunday Lunch a couple of weeks later. The Sunday lunch menu had a great selection, we all opted for the Beef and Yorkshire pudding , the Beef was wonderful, cooked to perfection. At 2 courses for £26 or 3 courses for £29 it offered great quality at good value. Having only moved to the Town 6 months ago I wish we had tried the food here sooner, it will be so sad if we lose this venue.
