"Had a lovely meal on Sunday, drove past on the way to a local castle and decided to have lunch on the way back. Luckily we booked as it was packed when we got there (13.45). Food and drinks all came out quickly and we loved it. A little bit more expensive than I would have liked, but it was great. Parking: There are a lot of spots but it gets very busy. Price per person: £30–40 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Pizza, Calzone Parking space: Plenty of parking Parking options: Free parking lot"
