“We have been visiting Labworth for many years and today was my wife's birthday. I had a quick word with one of the girls and she magically organised a brownie and ice cream and the whole restaurant singing happy birthday - not forgetting a birthday kiss from the manager. It was a very touching experien e and the food was exceptional as well. Thank you . Jim and Angela”
