The drawing room closes at 7pm and our on line booking was for 7pm so we were re allocated to their No 43 restaurant which is open from 7pm to 9pm. The restaurant has a lovely view out to the sea with a larger menu than the drawing room Great service in pleasant surroundings. The food was of a good standard and came out pretty quickly.
