Customer Review:

Booked the Whisky Tasting Dinner as a special treat for ourselves. The gentleman who brings the whisky tells you all about it’s provenance and how it has been casked, and I have to say there was a good variety. The food was plentiful and extremely tasty and the service was five star. All in all this was an all round wonderful evening out!
