The staff was friendly and ready to assist with requests. They even mailed the adaptor plug I had left behind. The carvery on Sunday was delicious! Breakfast also looked very good.
The parking space was tight. I arrived at midday and wanted a light lunch, but gluten-free options were unavailable. An omelet was my second choice, but the kitchen was out of eggs.
