Thought we would try the carvery again, unfortunately we were disappointed. The food was very tasteless apart from the beef which was delicious.|The staff are really lovely though.|It was a bit chilly in the room too.|It is such a shame that the carvery is poor quality as the venue is lovely.|Maybe, offer Sunday lunch in the loft ??
