    There was 2 adults & 2 children in our party We all ordered a main and 2 starters to share Obviously 2 mains were children’s 2 soft drinks a cup of tea & 3 alcoholic drinks & 3 desserts which the kids left the other was ice cream Give them a miss they rnt very nice at all Our bill was an outstanding £145 which I feel was way over priced hence the 2 star Would I come again ? Maybe. I wouldn’t purchase a drink nor a dessert We came for my daughter’s birthday the waiting staff sang happy birthday with the dessert what we had paid for Nice touch riva ???
