*updated based on recent experience - seems better organised now - I think the best roasts locally imho and worth a visit Used to come here regularly for the roast on Sundays but be aware they often don’t serve till 7pm as advertised - I tried at 4.30 today and they’d closed the kitchen already! If you’re willing to be messed about the roasts when they actually serve them are nice.
