    We took advantage of the tax-free Monday offer on food and drinks. The setting was beautiful, with a lovely garden, the car park had plenty of spaces, the restaurant was clean and well presented and the toilets spotless. On arrival the staff were friendly, welcoming and efficient, which continued throughout our visit. The food arrived after a short wait and was piping hot and delicious. Unfortunately my husband's beer tasted sour (the end of the barrel?) but after mentioning it to staff, was replaced with a different brand and the staff member could not have been more apologetic. We will definitely be back. The meal was lovely and well priced (even without the tax-free discount). The two male staff members who we dealt with (I'm sorry I don't remember their names) were professional and attentive, and are a credit to the company.

    Had lunch with some friends today and enjoyed the experience so much I was compelled to leave a review! The staff were great but the food was the best part. Nice as a veggie to have two options including cheese pie, I went for the tagine and it was delicious. The outdoor area looked great, particularly for kids with a climbing frame and slide. Highly recommended.

    I genuinely can't understand why this place wasn't much busier. The food was good, as was the service. The bill was reasonable. The restaurant was clean and well presented. There was a nice playground for our kids. The staff liked our fat, smelly dog. I couldn't ask for more, really.
