Went for Monday night dinner with family. Welcoming bar staff. The restaurant wasn’t busy. Unfortunately they didn’t have chicken that was on the menu so we had burgers and a lamb dish. The food was delicious. Could not fault it at all. I asked for oat milk with my tea, expecting a no, but that wasn’t an issue. The highlight of the evening was definitely the wonderful guy who served us. He was a very helpful, jovial and deserves a special mention. Thank you
