What it could be

You never know about the service not quality of food. Stick to the basics. Decor is dated. Could be a fantastic venue.

After a long, difficult drive we ordered one of each starter and a few cocktails. Everything was excellent and it really turned our day around. The service was a little slow, perhaps because our waitress was training someone. But the staff was very friendly and...More
