The setting too is a delight, with restful views across the lake. However, it is a dedicated whole staff team that make this place so special. It remains a family firm with a philosophy that has been in place for three generations, that values and puts the customer's needs at the heart of everything they do. We are incredibly lucky to have such a gem in our neighbourhood!

We had reserved a table for 6, including a child, and brought in a birthday cake to be presented after the meal. Unfortunately, we were informed after waiting in line to order that breakfasts were no longer being served due to a staff shortage. Despite explaining our situation, we were told we could have breakfast after a 45-minute wait. By that time, our 22-month-old granddaughter was already hungry. When the breakfasts finally arrived, one was late and most of us had almost finished eating. The poached egg breakfast had to be sent back as they were overcooked, and the toast was burnt. There was also not enough scrambled eggs compared to the amount of toast served. Overall, it was a disappointing experience for our family birthday celebration. It would have been better if the management had prioritized the reserved tables before taking on additional customers.

Had the lasagne the meat and pasta were tasty, however it's far too loaded with cheese for me some may like this, but it was swamped, shame. Salad looked a bit tired too it's been much better on other days. Happy to give the benefit of the doubt as it's usually fab here.
