The restaurant is also used for residents breakfast (full
English or continental) and is also used for our popular Sunday Roasts
(these can also be served in the 'Lounge Bar' if you desire). These were
the subject of 'rave reviews' by a travel writer from the Newcastle
Chronicle newspaper (succulent meats, excellent sweets and outstanding
value for money!) At £8.75 for two courses, we agree.
Private parties (weddings, groups and
functions) catered for, up to 40 covers seated or 90 - 100
buffet-style.
On warm summer evenings some prefer to sit
outside on the patio to enjoy their meal in the country air and admire the
tranquility of the surroundings.
