The Green Man Pub recently hosted an event for us and one of our guests wrote the following which I think says it all: "Such a fantastic, delicious spread by The Green man ... WONDERFUL. They certainly did you proud. We must go in again."

Party at the Green Man. Food was amazing, tasty and lots of it. The Chef Peter and his team Bien joué ! Victoria was very welcoming and the guests had a great time. Sarah and the bar staff kept the drinks flowing with lots of chat and a big smile. Fabulous location could not wish for anything better. Thank you thank you

Sunday dinner is a must have from The Green Man! So pleased where we were meant to go was fully booked. The Green Man squeezed my booking in with less than 24hrs notice. Thanks you! It was amazing. The food was to die for! We will definitely be going back. The potion size was large, you don’t leave hungry. A fair few other options available if you didn’t want the roast. The burger looked amazing. I wish we had room for dessert as choices on that menu looked great. The atmosphere was lovely and a very homely feel from a proper country pub. Parking facilities were easy to assess. The table service was also spot on, the young lad who served us was very polite. Thank you!

Called in on Friday night on our way home from a night out at 8.30pm hoping for a drink to sit outside with as it was a lovely evening. Parked in the half empty car park and I went to sit outside whilst husband went to order drinks. He was told that they were closed for a private party but there were no signs to this effect and having checked Facebook there was no mention of this. Would it have put them out to sell us a couple of drinks to take outside? Obviously it would have done so we took our custom to a friendlier local pub. Won't be coming here again!

We came here for a drink one evening after being told by a tourist rep. in Lincoln that there is a connection with Walt Disney, I had heard or seen something about this several years earlier in that Mr Disney believed it to be his ancestral home and where his family roots were, something he himself had researched in and around the village when he was in England making a film. Anyway, the pub is very nice with a certain rustic charm. The staff were very friendly even though we were only here for a drink and not eating. Well worth a visit if you are anywhere between Newark and Lincoln.

Beautiful service, attentive and so very friendly. Food was beautiful and great selection of beer and other drinks. We only popped in for a meal on the way to Lincoln for a pint and a main but ended up having a starter of beer battered pork belly bites which were delicious. All mains brought were delicious to.

What a fantastic find!! Looking for somewhere to eat with friends whilst on the road... came across The Green Man! Gorgeous inside... welcomed with a big smile & as a quieter part of the day, could chose where we sat! Ended up having three courses because the food was so good!!. Not had such a wonderful meal in a long time. Lovely old pub, comfortable & cosy & beautifully decorated. Owner served us & couldn't have done enough for us & had no qualms about accommodating our various dietary requirements. She was so lovely & so interesting. Hadn't realised she was the owner until we tried to tip her, which she refused, saying it had to go to her staff.. which it did! She was very proud of them saying what a wonderful team they were, which was lovely to hear. Thank you for a great experience! ...& Hats off to the chef!! You're saved in our favourites!

We’re regular visitors to the Green Man, probably 2-3 times per month. The food is always extremely high quality, and the menu changes regularly. Victoria (the boss) clearly has very high hygiene standards as the whole pub is spotless. We always get a warm welcome and really enjoy our visits.

Once again a sublime experience from a quality country pub. The Christmas menu is full of surprises and caters for all tastes. I had the blade of beef which was a joy. Of course the ever present Victoria oversees the the good quality and high standards of food and service. Honestly try this place it’s a hidden gem that is reasonable and friendly and with the warm comfortable atmosphere you won’t go wrong.

Booked as near Lincoln and taking daughter back to Uni. Looked good on Trip Advisor and it certainly was. Very freindly welcome, great choice, especially the boss as she is vegetarian. 3 Vegan sausages and full roast trimmings. 2 beef and it was delicious and one burger. 4 sweets, again they were great. All fairly priced. Lovely staff. Will be back when next over that way.

We went for the steak night deal which was a sirloin steak with all the trimmings and choice of sauce plus a bottle of wine. At £39:95 for two this was exceptionally good value. The steaks, as well as all the other items were very well cooked. Service was excellent. Extremely pleasant experience, thank you.

Sunday Lunch as it should be. Roast beef pink, huge yorkshire pudding , roast potato, mashed potato, red cabbage , vegetables. All served with a smile and very attentive staff. Dessert was home made marshmallow surprise and delicious. Will definitely return and recommend everyone pay a visit though booking essential as very busy understandably. Well done The Green Man - special mention to mine host Vicky and Jack our very personable waiter.

On Thursday nights the pub often has a steak night, this week we went for that. The pub was not over busy but there were a few people enjoying the food and quite a lot of 'bar' customers. The steak was smashing, and the price was superb for the quality of food we received. I had the toasted marshmallow and fudge dessert, which was also smashing, especially as both the mallow and fudge were homemade! The pub was warm, the central heating and two log burners were on, when I asked the landlady told me that she had received complaints that the pub was cold so she put everything on! Cold it was definitely not! Neither the room or the atmosphere.

Came for Sunday lunch on the recommendation of a few acquaintances and was certainly not disappointed. The beef was tender and pink (as one should have it), roast potatoes melted in your mouth and the vegetables were soft and crunchy. Service was excellent throughout and paid attention to all of our needs, even going as far as putting us on an accessible table (we had a wheelchair with us). Overall a very warm experience and would recommend to anyone!

We hadn’t visited this pub in quite a while and thought we would have a trip there with our friends for dinner as it always used to be a lovely welcoming pub. Sadly not anymore!! The pub was very cold two of us out of the four couldn’t take our coats off and actually ate our food with them on. It was a cold November evening knowing that they always had a log burner in there assuming it would be lit and be nice and warm but definitely wasn’t. We were never asked at any point if our food was ok, even when paying the bill. The food was ok but not great. My husband did raise these points to the bar man when paying the bill just looked at my husband very vacant with not an apology. Personally i whilst whoever own this pub at the moment we certainly won’t be returning and I will be advising other people not to, they don’t deserve the custom.

Myself and a couple of friends came across this pub when visiting the village for the first time, we were not welcomed when first entering the bar and requesting whether we could sit outside for a drink , met with young, rude , inexperienced staff one of which swore in front of us whilst serving our drinks, we decided to not be deterred by this initial short coming and booked a table for food, we were again met with a cold reception upon entering the restaurant , food I must say was lovely but the service was lacking , with no one coming to check if our food was okay but the most offensive part was my friend leaving a fair but honest review and being told in response that we were intoxicated when only receiving two rounds of drinks and completely untrue - will not be returning.

We travelled out to Norton Disney in light of the BBC news article regarding Walt Disney’s ancestors. We had a fab day in the beautiful landscape of Norton Disney. Arrived at the Green Man, following the same journey as Walt when he visited. Customer service was poor when entering, it felt very hostile initially. Bar staff were rude, specifically female. We were asked if we had a table booked to which we confirmed no, and asked if we could have a drink outside. Female noted she would need “to ask her manager”. We were given the okay and we ordered drinks. Another member of bar staff asked the female if “she could make a coffee.” Female noted “Jesus Christ if I have to” and I felt this was blasphomy and offensive given my religious background. We wanted to order food and so called to book a table from outside given our reluctance to approach bar staff. Upon being seated we asked if the table candle could be lit by female and was informed she would “need to ask.” Food arrived and it was fantastic - we thoroughly enjoyed, especially the roast dinner. Was not sure how I felt about eating next to staff on their break given we were informed of the “few tables” available when initially arriving. We were also not approached after being served food to asked if all was okay. Food was good, beautiful area but ultimately let down by the customer service. **update post review** - having since posted a review I am appalled by the response from the owner. Very defensive and a complete deflection of some of the concerns raised. i am insulted that is has been suggested that my judgement was impaired from having three beers. The staff were indeed rude on this occasion and rather than take it on board to enhance their training, the manager deems it appropriate to belittle a customer for their honest reviews. Huge red flag for me and will not be returning

Went to Norton Disney for the experience of being a child again and igniting my inner Disney love. Went to the pub that Walt Disney went and played darts in… However, I feel my experience was completely different to what is was like back then! Greeted with a woman who had to ask whether we could stay for one drink, although there were only 2 tables taken inside, and plenty outside too! As she was pouring our drinks, she used blasphemy towards someone else after trying to get help in making a cuppa. “Jesus Christ” she said to quote. Sat outside for drinks, wanting to take a book about our lovely Lincolnshire, however was told “bring it back, or you’ll pay”. We then were extremely hungry, so we opted to stay for food. Food was really nice, however the entire time, no staff came to ask about our experience and gave us any kind of assistance. When asking for the bill, the man did not speak one word to us and it was awkward silence when paying, as if he couldn’t wait to finish. Then, when my partner put his review on, he received nothing but criticsm when writing it, accusing us of being “too drunk” whilst here. I drove to Norton Disney for the whole experience, and had one drink, can confirm this was not the case. However, I think she as the owner, may either be drunk everyday, or completely blind to the fact her business is run with nothing but cold heartedness and doesn’t give a great reflection of the location, which is simply magical, just like Disney and his legacy.

Though this place is slightly off the beaten track, if you have time to detour off of the A46 between Lincoln and Newark The Green Man is definitely worth visiting.Plenty of outdoor space and seating, both at the front of the pub and in a good-sized beer garden at the rear, plus a decent amount of indoor seating for the restaurant, considering current C19 restrictions.Party of three - myself, my wife, and a friend we hadn't seen for a year - arrived at about 5:40pm to find the place hadn't opened yet (not really surprised, considering its location) but when the staff realised we were there they opened up and let us in. The selection of drinks is small but varied, so finding something we all liked wasn't a problem, and the drinks were brought to our table promptly.Having decided to order food, the staff told us it'd be about 20-30 minutes before we could be served as the chef was still prepping. As we hadn't seen each other for so long we had a lot of catching up to do so the delay was not an issue.I ordered the 3-bone Lamb platter, my wife chose the Sea Bass and our friend went for the pie of the day.All of the food was excellent, well presented and cooked, with ample portions.Pricing was good, with the whole bill for three adults, including drinks, coming in at under £60In conclusion: though not on a major road, this place is close enough to the main route to be worth the side trip. The menu is small but varied, the food is excellent and the pricing highly competitive. Staff are friendly and helpful. it is probably best to phone in advance to check opening times, but our experience is that if you arrive a little bit early they'll open up and go from there.My first visit here, somehow I don't think it'll be my last.

We were surprised we were able to get a table at fairly short notice and after driving 11 miles through some lovely countryside we arrived at this gem of a pubAfter a pleasant greeting by the staff we ordered our drinks and meal. My husband had a starter of Fresh Asparagus and Mussels, his words delicious!Our main courses were of the same standard, very well cooked, nicely presented and very tasty. We will certainly be visiting again.

The food at the Green Man was fantastic. We felt the price was about right for the quality of the food. The service was also very polite. However, a number of issues spoilt the full experience. My partner was unable to have one of the special cocktails. We were told the owner knew the recipe and she wasnt there. The decor is light and fresh but the lighting is so bright it spoils the atmosphere and the service was so quick as to appear rushed. In summary, grat food but let down by a few details.

We haven’t visited The Green Man since Becky and Matt left last November. On our visit today we won’t be returning. Food not a patch on Matt’s so very dissatisfied, service extremely slow and fewer tables to serve. Plastic glasses felt like a child. Also being told we couldn’t take a Sunday lunch away with us very disappointed (Yes we know you are not a takeaway). I would of thought under the present climate the more plates out the door the better. Also having an elderly 95 year old in our group wanting to take her food home as she doesn’t eat much we were told she couldn’t do to start with. We won’t be returning.

I can really recommend The Green Man at Norton Disney, the food is delicious. Met a friend there & took advantage of the eat our to help out scheme - there was a good choice & could have easily picked out 2 or 3 things from each course on the menu. We shared a starter of ham & cheddar croquettes (delicious), both had flat iron chicken with garlic butter for main. The chicken was moist & tasty & came with some crisp bean beans, side salad & chips. Dessert was also very good - not huge portions of pud but we were pleasantly full.Staff are all really friendly & helpful. Can definitely recommend & we will be back :)

The Green Man, recently re-opened following the closure of restaurants and pubs during COVID-19, has been our go-to eatery for some time; we live in a nearby village. Last night's experience was disappointing. The service was well below par with significant delays between ordering and receipt of meals. The management have clearly taken steps to mitigate the COVID risk including the use of plastic 'glasses' a shame in this single use plastic aware world compounded by 'pint to brim' glasses resulting in short measures, by some margin.Waiting staff attempting to remove drinks still 'on the go', an absence of cutlery accepting an at table drinks order then much later advising that they don't take drinks orders at the table when questioned as to the whereabouts of said drink. all made for a confusing experience. All this only mitigated by the sustained quality of the food.I can sympathise with the staff to a degree, the post COVID world is taking some getting used to, management need to make greater efforts in briefing their staff. Revert to proper pint glasses please.

We visited on a Sunday after completing a 5.5 mile circular walk which starts and finishes in the pub car park. We haven’t been to this pub for quite a few years and we were really impressed , it is done out lovely inside and they have very good Covid measures in place , toilets can be reached from outside and were immaculate. The owner was so friendly and the service was very quick. There is a large garden with ample outdoor seating, if you are sitting outside you order and pay for the food at the bar. We had the fish and chips and Brie started, everything was amazing and tasted so good, can highly recommend and we will definitely be back a lot sooner this time.

We phoned ahead on our way home from Lincoln earlier today and booked a table for two for 12.30pm.The menu was quite varied and we toyed with the idea of Liver and onions but both played safe and ordered our normal pork and beef roast dinners.We waited a short while and our food turned up piping hot and there was plenty on the plates including red cabbage and cauliflower cheese.The beef is served rare but can be changed on request.My wife enjoyed her pork lunch and both dishes were good value for money in this stunning little country pub at £14.95 each.Very good service, excellent service and a place worth considering.Visited 15th march 2020.

The Green Man in Norton Disney is a really nice pub! I heard some stories about this place before the new year but I don’t listen to silly rumours- I make my own judgements. I used to come here before the changeover and I got a bit bored of the menu, it didn’t seem to change much and I always felt a bit awkward, I didn’t find the service very friendly or feel like I could speak but WOW!! The new owner has really turned it around. The atmosphere is much nicer, real homely feel, great music and absolutely amazing food!This is my 3rd time back recently and I’ve not been disappointed at all- had something different each time. There’s actually a variety of appealing dishes, not just the same one over and over like before. I can’t recommend the Green Man more for a family meal or a romantic date. This is definitely my first choice now- I went to a high end restaurant in Lincoln for my birthday- spent a fortune and got an average meal, nothing special and was gutted so not making that mistake again- Green man is the place to get a consistently good meal and good service

Needing a place to eat convenient for Nottingham and Lincoln we booked The Green Man at Norton Disney, basically because my mother had lived in the village as a child. The carpark was almost full when we arrived for Sunday lunch, so our expectations of a good meal were high, but nothing prepared us for the excellent service and varied menu. The roasts were huge, and tasty, with lovely fresh seasonal vegetables. My vegetable strudel was yummy. And the sweets! Fantastic! Well worth another visit.

I have not been to the Green Man for some time, however I booked a table for Sunday lunch for myself and a friend. The greeting was not warm. Unfortunately I needed to cancel so telephone to say that sadly I needed to cancel my booking. I was asked "the Reason" I have never in my life been asked this questions and then did I want to booked for the following Sunday or any other time. Smacks of desperation and I was not even thanked for letting them know. Who ever is answering the telephone should take lessons on Customer Service. It was very off putting so will not be returning and some more reviews are not good. Such a shame as this was the place to go.

I felt sorry for the poor young man working behind bar on his own whilst expected to take food orders and wait on tables, though it wasnt a particularly busy lunch time. He was sworn at (F word) in front of customers by a woman who said she was the manageress for an issue at another table, though she appeared to do nothing whilst we were there. The building was freezing(very elderly and young present were given short shrift when asked for the fire to be lit or having heating turned up). We had to ask 3 times for our drinks order, whilst another table had to ask a number of times for the correct utensils/bowl/napkin to eat mussels.The food was quite good, especially my partners main course, though my starter, wensleydale souffle lacked any discernible flavour.I wasnt aware the pub is now under new ownership, though this may explain the poor service and terrible work ethic and behaviour of the manager/owner(?) and shocking language to a very young member of staff.

We used to come here on occasion under the previous owner/management and it really was fabulous. As someone else said, Green Man you are fabulous no more ☹️. I had a chicken dish in a mushroom sauce. Chicken was well cooked, sauce was tasty, but the sautéed potatoes were overcooked and burnt. Partner had fish and chips. The batter was so overcooked it was burnt in places but the fish was just about cooked inside, meaning that they had cooked it in oil far too hot. Partners chunky chips were luke warm in the middle and tasted ‘not quite right’. I’ve seen a previous review stating that the chips appeared re-heated and I would agree with that. When I asked for the bill it took so long to be brought to us that in the end we got up and paid at the bar. The lad who was meant to be getting the bill seemed to have got sidetracked and was doing other tasks.

The room was lovely and warm and the tables were not too close together. The food was great. there was no pressure to leave and we spent time enjoying each others company before reluctantly leaving to go home. It was a restaurant / pub we had stopped visiting before but will certainly visit reguarly now. We all felt that the atmosphere and ambience were truly wonderful.

Ate here last night as staying local. Lovely looking pub, very clean. Surprised as despite winter and almost freezing I sat by fireplace for warmth.....its glow was from candles not logs...several folk sitting in coats. Fab glass red wine had. Menu choice not vast but pleasant enough. Sadly the chips were clearly NOT fresh from the fryer..... I asked waiter if they were...to be told "they were cooked today"...and were brown from the batter they use... dark brown somewhat soggy chips slightly off beige in the middle are generally a sign of reheated... shame when fish and chips is 13.99!! No fresh ones sent out either...duck dish nice but nothing special atall for 17.99.

We were passing through the area and googled a pub at lunch time and, as your reviews were good, we thought we'd pop in. I eat out regularly and the chicken supreme was one of the best meals I have had out for a long time, the fact that it was gluten free without having to request this was even more of a bonus. Fabulous that it included the vegetables without a surcharge... A regular gripe in my local area. My husband has a burger everywhere he goes and said it was excellent. The young staff were very efficient and friendly. A shame we live so far away or we would definitely return.

Previously my only complaint was the slightly 'over the top' waitress that used to pop over to the table mid mouthfull to question if I'm enjoying my food. Thankfully, she was not present, a result perhaps of the style of the new management.

What happened to what used to be an amazing place to eat?! It’s turned into a cold unwelcoming place with awful inefficient staff, cheap and nasty wines on offer and an owner who doesn’t have a clue! Being a goth is one thing but imposing it on long term customers is another! Horrendous goth type music on offer along with a boring menu, poorly trained staff and food that you’d expect from an estate type pub chain. Waited way too long for awful food. Will not be going back!! Truly truly awful.

Recently went and the service was absolutely wonderful. So glad this pub is under new management. The overall atmosphere since the changing of hands has been amazing. I have looked at the reviews left recently and all I can say is I’m disgusted by the prejudice comments made and the fact that some people have even based their entire review on the PERSONAL dressing and style choices of the management and employees there. The food was wonderful and the service was fantastic, the staff had a very nice way about the. will be eating there again.

We went as a group of friends, one of whom lives in a village nearby, for Sunday lunch. I had heard that the excellent previous management had left the pub so we had the new team. The service is a little hit and miss but they are trying hard so perhaps these teething problems will be sorted out. It's a bit unfair to be too hard on them. Couldn't complain about the food. It was very good and the vegetables were lovely. I live in London and we can only dream about pubs of this standard!!

Great food! I came with some friends to this pub for the first time and we were really impressed! The quality of the food was very high with a very nice selection! I had One of the best steaks I have ever had and my partner thought the same about his burger! We had some issues with the service which was a little slow but the manager explained us that this was one of their first day as new management. So, we can only say: very well done and good luck! Your start was excellent!

A favourite restaurant of ours, Arrived to find a new ownership in charge, new menu and staff. Was shown to a table but not a warm welcome as previously. Menu produced which was not inspiring and typical pub grub. Delay in ordering a drink which did not arrive until we asked for them. Three waitress visit to take our order, obvious that there was no co ordination by staff. I had difficulty selecting food and ended up with scampi and chips. Chips were OK but the scampi was dry. No offer of vinegar or a sauce for the scampi and the peas were just average. My wife had a side salad to accompany her meal which had no dressing and was dry and uninviting. Scampi and chips at £15 was also a bit much.

Simply beautiful Sunday dinner. Great restaurant, lovely friendly staff, excellent location and epic meal. Best roast Sunday dinner I’ve had. I’ve been to quite a few village pubs/restaurants in this area and this one tops the lot by a long way. It’s going to take some special to beat this.

On arrival we were met and received a nice welcome, shown to our table and given ample time to peruse the menu. We both chose the lamb which was so well cooked it fell apart when cut. All in all the meal was excellent, well presented and received. Would recommend this restaurant to anyone looking for a country eatery.

We had our second lovely dinner at the Green Man tonight...the menu had completely changed and was even better than before. The Paella was amazing, fish pie, steak perfectly cooked (not an easy feat), starters were lovely, interesting and shareable. dessert menu had terrific choices. It is a cozy, pleasant, and peaceful pub...will most definitely return...often! Thank you.

Went one Thursday evening expecting it to be fairly quiet for a small village pub. It was absolutely packed which, for me, is always a good sign. We had a drink until a table became free, which was lovely, because you can sit outside.

Quiet table reserved for us as requested when I booked for Sunday lunch. However was very surprised to find that the cost of the two course lunch at £21.50 giving a choice of three meats required and additional £4 for beef. This was something that I really not expected. My friend found that the gravy and stuffing far to salty for her taste, however the fish and chicken meals for the two of us was all right.

We dined here with some friends recently as part of a surprise. The restaurant is lovely and presents an airy fresh environment which is comfortably furnished. The meal was superb and every dish I saw served I felt I could have happily eaten. The staff were friendly and very pleasant. I thought the cost was commensurate with the dining experience. Despite it not being as close to us as I would have liked - we will be back!

Friends and neighbours have been singing the praises of The Green Man so when family visited decided we would try it. One of my relatives was head chef at a local hotel and was very satisfied with the food. I had the best Green Thai curry ever, as good as top end Thai Restaurants. Friendly efficient service and adequate menu. Would definitely recommend.

I was dining with a friend who had not eaten there before. We both had the most delicious roasted cod served with chorizo smoked paprika vegetables and served on a bed of wilted spinach. Absolutely delicious a memorable meal, my friend was very impressed. The puddings we had were lemon tart and rum and raisin bread and butter pudding. Even though my friend arrived 45 minutes late we were accommodated even though they had large parties in,. The staff as usual were friendly and helpful. Will be back again very soon. Thank you to all the team.

Three of us lunched here on a Saturday lunch time. The restaurant was full, so we were glad that we had booked. The menu, whilst not very extensive, was sufficient for all of us to choose different starters and main courses. We all enjoyed our respective courses and commented on how good the food was.

This restaurant was the nearest to our holiday let so it we decided we should give it a go. On another more pleasant evening we could have walked there. The welcome we received was like we had been there a hundred times. The food was superb with all four of us having different starters and mains. I would recommend the Duck Skewers or Crispy Chili Beef to start. The Rib-eye Steak was perfect, the Green Man burger was lovely. One of our party had the Mussels and the other had the Pie-in-a-Pan. It was all delicious. The portion size, after a starter, was a bit too big but we didn't leave much.

A family reunion dinner for eight and the weather was very kind, so we enjoyed the countryside before dining. Everyone was more than pleased with the varied menu and the dishes they had chosen. Restaurant staff were most efficient yet friendly, giving a relaxing atmosphere which made the evening really special.

A small village pub with great restaurant. We met friends here as half way between Lincoln & Newark. Intimate room, great atmosphere & very friendly staff. Good choice of menu with a specials menu as well. I had Morocaan lamb tagine which was very tasty - would have preferred normal couscous to giant couscous but that just me. Sticky toffee pudd I g to follow - yum yum. Good selection of tea & coffee. Did not fee l rushed in any shape or form. Will be visiting again.

Had the most amazing lunch here today. Welcoming was lovely and it’s very cosy. The restaurant is spotless and the atmosphere is relaxing. Nearly all the tables were taken so although very busy the ambience was still relaxed. There was a huge choice of dishes all of which sounded delicious. We had 3 courses and every part of the meal was spot on. The staff were very friendly but not in your face and they were very professional . Wine was good too :) really really impressed already discussing booking a large family Sunday lunch. Really really impressed

We had the pleasure of having lunch today at The Green Man which was excellent. The food and service were first class and we cannot fault it. However we were surprised and a little annoyed to be charged £ 3.50 for a large Soda and Lime which seemed to us excessive. We did query this and were told it is bottled soda water used and not from a soft drinks syphon. We still think this did not justify the high price charged. This public house is in a village and as the majority of guest will have to drive the prices for a soft drink could put you off visiting

A wonderful lunch! Lovely menu with a wide choice. My husband chose Gammon Egg and Chips and I chose Beef Lasagna and chips. We thoroughly enjoyed our lunches. The beef lasagna was one of the nicest I've eaten. We had no room for dessert but the cake selection did look delicious. It's a shame we don't live closer as this cafe would be a favourite.
