Report Highlights:
Q. Based on your experience today, would you return to this pub again?
A. Most definitely. I will return as I enjoyed my evening.
Q. What one part of your visit experience could be improved?
A. I'm not sure I can think of anything that could have been improved.
Q. Please provide an overall description of your visit to this location.
A. I found the whole experience faultless with all of the staff members being amazingly friendly and helpful. I was shown to my table and given every help in choosing my drink and meal with knowledgeable options and recommendations. I felt that other customers were friendly and this all creates a generally pleasant atmosphere in which to eat a meal and feel relaxed and walk away feeling as though you are pleased to have spent time there. The facilities were clean and tidy and well maintained and it was evident from stepping over the threshold that it is run by people who care!
