“Walked in and was greeted by a lovely, friendly staff member. Offered us the venison burger special which was very generous in size and a delight to eat. Was patiant while we perused the desserts but none took our fancy this time. Lovely quite atmosphere with some modern decor mixed well into the old cottage vibe.”
