    After our last disappointing visit it was very pleasing to experience the fabulous food (roast chicken dinner) & service that we know and love. Jade is the most wonderful and welcoming individual - nothing is too much trouble and she certainly goes the extra mile to ensure everything is to our satisfaction. This time our visit will be remembered for all the right reasons. Thank you 🙏 and keep up the good work 👍
