Food quality and service were very good. We were disappointed however, after ordering a bottle of still water we received a bottle of tap water which in which you could taste the chlorine. For this we were charged £3.50 + 10% which rather took the shine of the lunch experience.

Staff were lovely, knowledgeable and attentive without being over the top. We had the Craster kipper salad starter which was very tasty, then we had the roast beef Sunday lunch , the roast potatoes were crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, the beef melted in your mouth. Very enjoyable and we will be returning
