I would like to say a massive THANK YOU for a fabulous day out to Bath last Wednesday. The service from your staff was exemplary. They were quick, polite and friendly. The menu was superb – top marks to the chef! The whole trip was extremely well-organised and all the details were clearly explained. Well done to the whole team (including the office staff and footplate crew of course!)
We hope to see you again some time and will definitely be recommending you to our friends.
