We had our christening reception here, and the team were absolutely amazing. The food was so good, tasty and plentiful. The team couldn't do anymore for us, all of our guests were impressed and loved the venue, food and atmosphere, thank you to the entire team.

5* rating for the food alone. Ate in the Cafe. First Visit. Looking around there was a stacker shelf which was displaying china and ornaments - not sure of the purpose. The only room that looked new, inviting and decorated nicely was the staff board room which housed a beautiful table with chairs and a big TV on a stand which "overlooked" the Cafe area. The food was outstanding, freshly prepared, the sandwich that I had was thick bread and it was absolutely freshly made. I would return just for the sandwich and cup of tea.
