We booked our daughters 21st birthday party at the fountain Inn, the pub provided the food and the DJ, we also booked 5 rooms for family to stay over.

Went to The Fountain this afternoon with friends, I ordered a steak sandwich - I was asked how I'd like the steak cooked and I said well done. When it arrived it was medium at best - very pink throughout. I mentioned this to the waitress who apologised and then again to the barmaid when I paid the bill -... More
