We went to Lussmans for an early dinner following a family visit to Beam Theatre for the Panto. It was fairly quiet in the restaurant as it was late afternoon. The service, food and ambience were excellent - my children are 9 and 5 but the menu selection was good and nothing was too much trouble. Would definitely recommend and we will be returning!

The food was amazing. Everything we ordered was good but the fish and chips was divine. The service was friendly, fast and very pleasant. The only issue was parking.

Always exceptional dining. The Sunday roast is unmatched to that of any others we have sought in search of the perfect roast. So much so that we recently visited the Heston Blumenthal’s establishment [The Hinds Head] in Bray for a Sunday roast, and whilst the lunch was faultless, we and accompanying friends believe it didn’t match that of the Gables.
