Sarah and Michael were excellent this morning. A very busy breakfast service but nothing was too much trouble. Such polite, kind and helpful staff who made our table of 7 feel very welcome and looked after. Thank you so much.

Very quiet. Barmaid friendly. Sorry to say roast was poor. Warm only and some of it dry.
