Lovely new build extension. Eager but not excessive service Delicious food- especially scallops with pea purée Amazing giant Yorkshire puds- even with roast lamb. Might be less intimidating to have smaller Yorkshires, or perhaps only with beef!! Even the bill came when requester, unlike many busy places!!
