Just been in this afternoon with my husband and what a lovely experience, from the minute we walked in we were welcomed, we weren't sure if you ordered at the counter or seat and they put us right straightaway. Showed us to our seat and presented menus with the added info on the special which I duly had.. Although when I saw a platter of sandwiches and crisps heading to another customer I nearly changed my mind. Great service great food and very friendly staff if your like us and on a Staycation check this place out.
