We popped in just before Christmas without a booking. We were lucky enough to get a table as it was very busy. The place was decorated beautifully for Christmas. The staff were great, friendly, professional and attentive. Service was second to none. The food was ok, presented well, cooked well but not the best of quality ingredients. I absolutely loved the cartoon elf picture of all the staff.
