Amazing service from Kelly. Was really impressed that managers James and Adam were there to step in and help....even though the restaurant was really busy.

4 adults and 1 child had lunch on 20th November 2022. The vegetables and chips were tepid and the salmon en croute subsequently made the eater ill all the following night. During the lengthy time between starters and mains we were eventually advised that there...
