friendly staff excellent carvery immaculate decor long wait missing drinks noisy plumbing
The staff were super-friendly. The decor was immaculate and airy. The Sunday Roast Carvery was really excellent, I was lucky to be there. Ryan went out of his way to ensure everyone had a good experience.
I had to wait 20 mins for breakfast, though there were only two other people. I had to ask for tea, coffee and juice while I waited. The plumbing and vents made very noisy sounds!
