Amazing food and great staff The renovated property is fantastic and the food was unbelievable with flavours to take you away. The staff were great and the venue had a great atmosphere. The wine tasting consisted of one white, two rose and three red. The white was good and two of the reds were enjoyable. Overall a great day out.
