On entering the Trout I’m always impressed by the cleanliness of all areas, the staff give a warm welcome show you to your table and take the drinks order. The menu has a wide selection of food and once ordered it’s not long before the well presented food arrives tastes delicious, the cheese cake is like an art form and tastes as good as it looks.
