A great night out

The food was excellent. We had the garlic bread with chilli to take which was tasty. We both decided on burgers beef & chicken which were tender & just the right amount of salad. The chips wee hot & crunchy. Went with the whiskey cake with ice cream he loved it. I had the apple cake which was fine. A good atmosphere not too loud.

I enjoyed a lovely meal, a chicken korma. The waiter was very helpful suggesting which ‘heat’ I should choose- it was perfect! The view over the lake is a real bonus, especially on a perfect summer’s evening.
