‘’Both teams constantly listen to our guests and that feedback helps us to develop, so that we can continue to deliver consistency and excellence across everything we do in both restaurants. Following on so closely from being named the AA’s Restaurant of the Year for England 2023, were all a little bit lost for words.
“But we want to say thank you to our guests, our amazing suppliers and to our team for helping us achieve all that we do.’’
