My sister and I had Sunday lunch here, she is celiac so can't eat gluten but they adapted one of their dishes for her. We had fish and chips (my sister's fish without the batter), followed by gluten-free chocolate fudge cake and ice cream freshly churned that morning - both delicious. Our waiter was very helpful and kept us amused with his banter between courses. They even had 50's pop music on their sound system - just our era. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience, will go again.
