    For our 42nd wedding anniversary meal the experience was excellent. The ambiance as usual was calm, friendly and professional. The food, Fillet steak and Sea Bass was exceptional, prepared to perfection in a cosy and quiet environment. Thoroughly enjoyed the meal, staff friendliness, environment and experience. Thanks to everyone. It was topped by a former colleague who happened to be on site, secretly paying half the bill!
