Decided to try the Sunday carvery, we were very surprised by how many dishes there was to accompany the meat, 4 meat on offer and over 8 vegetable dishes, my favourite was the leek and cheese bake. Every single item on our plate was beautiful. It was very relaxed where we were sat. Waiting staff were lovely, Would sefinately recommend and would definitely visit again.
