The food was very good and everyone in our party enjoyed their meal. The service was impeccable throughout. We happened to be the only guests in the restaurant at the time, so there wasn’t much of an atmosphere, but for us that actually worked perfectly. We were looking for a quiet late lunch/early dinner before heading out later, so the calm setting suited us very well. In terms of value, the prices were about what I would expect given the cost of eating out nowadays. Overall, we had a very enjoyable experience and would happily return.

What a treat a Sunday lunch that I couldn’t improve on myself. Beef cooked to perfection was equaled by the most amazing vegetables and crispy roast potatoes. Lashing of extra gravy served separately as was the cauliflower cheese. Service was great and fantastic open club house Restraunt in the most stunning of locations!! It really was 5*****
