Testimonials
"What a fabulous place - great environment/atmosphere, lots of choice for both meat eaters and vegetarians. The portion sizes were fantastic. Everything cooked to perfection - the Mac n Cheese side was a particular highlight. Great service from very friendly and helpful staff. Great value for money. Could not have picked a better restaurant for a family celebration. Will definitely be returning." - Andrew B.
"Came here to celebrate my wife's birthday. A great welcome at the door, choice of where to sit (we chose a booth table), excellent service, flavoursome rump steaks, and (according to my wife) the lightest, creamiest creme brulee she has enjoyed for a long while). Definitely coming here again, on our next Yorkshire holiday." - Emerpod
