“ Heard great things about the rooms, but we only visited for a family meal. There are plenty of staff who kept our drinks and food coming. Being an old building, low ceilings, steps, and exposed beams with lots of rooms to dine in was a lovely experience. Food was of good quality and very tasty. Watching their roasts go by, they did look good. I enjoyed Calamari to start, followed by Fish Pie, certainly a first for me to have a main. It's definitely worth a visit!! ”
