Brilliant. I ordered a table online very easily and asked about dogs which was replied by email the same day. We then decided to eat outside, the staff were very helpful and no problem. Lunch sandwiches were very good value. Great beer. Amazing location overlooking the cricket pitch. Fantastic staff. 5 stars.
