Met an ex work colleague for lunch here and it’s a lovely place to shop for fine foods and eat in the cafe or restaurant upstairs. Not cheap but well presented fresh meals served by pleasant staff. I just had a smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwich with a side order but my friend had one of the daily specials of sea bream. Both dishes were superb and the deserts were irresistible. Great surroundings and will return soon to buy some specialities for my guests over Christmas.

Did the tour with beers to sample. Very interesting but the highlight is tasting the beer. The brewery Tap bar is really nice, cosy with candles and flowers and rugby on the telly. Fab, real beer; huge range of spirits if beer or cider is not your thing. Lovely staff, excellent shop across the car park.
