We were impressed by the stunning surrounds and view, but when we sat down at the table we found the menu very small and nothing on there which we wanted to eat so we left. Service was so busy no one noticed

Beautiful setting. Meals too big & therefore you don’t want dessert or more drinks. One Meal advertised as ‘baked ham’ unfortunately my hubby thought that would be a fresh baked ham but was just sliced cold ham. He sadly was disappointed. Otherwise meals were nice but far too big. Service was good, lovely friendly waitress & waiter. Quick delivery of meals too.
