“ Outstanding service. Turned up as a family of 10, but there was confusion with the booking and they were fully booked. Staff ran around, found a table (built a table) and we were in. It was very busy but there was no delay for service. Stunning food, with 10 clear plates! (That goes for starters and deserts too) Fantastic, thank you first accommodating us. ”
