The main purpose of the visit was to attend a wedding and despite the large numbers (over 150) both the quality of the food and the service were excellent.

Apparently, it is a Basque specialty. For dinner that day, I had large prawns cooked in a garlic dressing, with a mixed salad, all of which was prepared to a very high standard.If you read my review of the hotel, you will observe that I was not at all impressed and would not stay there again, but I would travel a considerable distance to enjoy the superb food served in their restaurant.
