Incredible food and Amazing service, Haggis spring roll was superb!
Had an enjoyable meal and Logan, our server, was very attentive. We chose restaurant as it offered 2 DF options (incl dessert). DF starters weren’t the most exciting (soup or salad) but at least there were 2. We would go again. Hubby (who’s not DF) enjoyed his haggis spring roll and venison haunch.
