Solid Choice for a Christening Celebration

attentive staffexcellent servicecake repairgreat hospitality
We celebrated our son's Christening here in October 2023. The staff looked after everyone so well throughout the weekend. The service was nice. A real disaster struck when the Christening cake got damaged. The chef repaired the cake. The hospitality received from managers and bar staff was top tier.
The red wine was more expensive than the price shown on the old menu. Management did not adjust the bill or apologise for the error.

The food was plentiful and well-cooked. I sampled the steak and kidney pudding. It reminded me of my mum's cooking. The chef ensured all our food arrived hot. The menu has many options.
