“The setting alone is striking, a handsome building perched with a view, and on-site parking is a welcome practicality. I found the Sunday lunch particularly memorable; the beef truly melted, and the accompaniments were thoughtfully prepared. It's clear they take pride in their cask ales and wine selection, too, making it a genuinely satisfying stop.”
