We come here regularly for lunch and the fantastic Sunday Carvery, we have never been disappointed. Great food and drink at a good price, they really make an effort to please a wide range of customers. The staff are always incredibly friendly, brilliant customer service, with a special mention to Brendan who is attentive to everyone. It’s a great location right next to the canal which is wonderful on a sunny day watching the boats.
