    Attentive team members promptly reconfigure tables and chairs beneath the elms to welcome unexpected group arrivals smoothly.

    We were a large cycling group which arrived unannounced, and the staff immediately swung into action and produced 3 tables and chairs for us, under the beautiful golden elms.

    Eggs Atlantic was delicious (home-made hashbrowns are a stand-out - generous, crispy on the outside, fluffy and tender on the inside).
