"What a gorgeous spot! Popped in here for a quick meeting, staff were very friendly, professional and polite, we sat in the club room which was quiet and ideal for colleagues to chat, we ordered two light sandwiches, ham and beef, which were both very tasty and hit the spot, there was outdoor seating too overlooking the river, plenty of parking at the back."
