“Lovely atmosphere. Didn’t feel like we were shouting over the noise that other restaurants have, it was good noise wise as I had a raging sore throat so was great that I don’t lose my voice. Me and dad had the beef Wellington and it was cooked to perfection we didn’t need to use steak knives as the normal knives cut like butter. The desserts my sister, dad and I had was very good. The bread was very fresh and hot. Love it so much would definitely recommend to everyone.”
