Have been going here for quite some time now, but have never written a review. Every time I have been the food has been perfect whatever I have chosen off the menu. The steak sizzlers are first class and well worth trying. The staff are all very friendly and helpful, and the premises and toilets are immaculate. Would highly recommend any visitors to the area to visit this hidden gem as the food is excellent.
