    Delicious starter of prawns. Delicious duck Mushroom risotto a little bland and not loose enough. Nice venue, attentive staff.

    Thanks for the review and feedback. It's disappointing to hear the Risotto was not up to scratch. I wish you would have mentioned it at the time and we would have replaced it. My apologies. We hope to see you again with a better result. Regards Matthew (Owner)
