Listed below are the local restaurants that our guests tend to visit.
We seldom eat out ourselves and don't get into the local pubs much (sad, innit?) so what follows is based on what our guests tell us about the restaurants they visit. And we always ask! Stars are on a scale of one to five. Three stars is satisfactory. Five means I get free food and drink. I wish! |
