The manager and staff were superb. We had to be fed and watered with an hour to be at the theatre. This was not a problem, as the manager told all his crew of our wishes and hey presto!!! Superb job and all friendly with it. Thank you.

                          [...] The meal progressed smoothly. We have used this restaurant many times as a family venue and being able to book on line for an evening in December was a great help as we knew we definitely had a table and did not have to queue or be disappointed.
