The day and experience was lovely however the wine tasting was good but another staff member could of assisted as it was quite busy despite we had booked a spot also wines available to taste were limited considering the range only one style might be available which you’ve nothing to compare it too which I would prefer another option however overall food great service good

Hi Hayley, Thanks for taking the time to leave your review, very much appreciated. Unfortunately Covid has been a real challenge for most hospitality venues with regard to staff shortages and we are no exception. Our staff are working hard to make every experience as positive as possible with the limited resources we have, so it's great to hear you had an enjoyable day. We thank you for your patience and hope to see you back again soon.
