I didn't realize at first, but it was the same woman from last time who was rude to me, and once again I left feeling upset. I can't understand how she is still working there. I can't recommend this place to any of my friends. It used to be such a nice place. What a shame.

Small gift shop in restaurant. Menu small choice but very good. Tables by the windows have wonderful views. We arranged my mother's 90th birthday there with about 50 people and pre booked meal very helpful manager with boards avaiable for 90 years of photos etc, and good meal. Places for children to play. They would have sorted flowers etc but one of family did that. Bar was avaiable.

Very poor service. The manager didn't seem to care they were losing money!
