Accessible building, amazing food, great staff

Attended for a private function, 01/06/23, and despite being recovering from a leg injury, access was very easy, with lifts and very helpful staff. Food was of the highest standards and served piping hot. I can it fault the location or the surrounding either. Highly recommended. Thank you
