Lovely food. As a result of the quality and the location, there can be a queue to get served but it moves quickly. Extensive outdoor dining area. Very large enclosed playground nearby. Don't forget to take a stroll in the walled garden it is attached to, so you see where some of the produce you just enjoyed comes from. More
