Private bookings are great on the spacious first floor. Board Room is good for up to 16 people with great service but it lacks any kind of background music, a gentle music or acoustic classical would have gone down a treat.

Went at lunch when they first opened. We all had sandwich and chips which we all enjoyed. It was good value and the service was very good.
