"I previously reviewed this establishment a few months ago, but I felt the need to do so again as my experience was even better this time around. While my previous visit was good, today's roast was exceptional. The potatoes were crispy and fresh, and I always enjoy the vegetables that accompany the roast. The lamb shank was incredibly tender, though I felt it could have used a bit more flavoring such as rosemary and garlic infused into the meat. Despite that, it was still a great meal. My companions had the chicken and pork dishes and found them thoroughly enjoyable. Personally, I would have preferred they bring back the pork loin as I do not care for belly meat, but my friend loved it so it's a matter of personal preference. The restaurant was busy and we had to wait about 5 minutes for our table, but they were able to accommodate my disabled mother who cannot stand for long periods of time. The only disappointment was that they refused to turn on the heating. Considering the amount we spent, I believe it wouldn't have hurt them to do so, even just for the duration of our meal. I tend to get cold easily due to a health issue, but everyone else seemed comfortable temperature-wise. It is worth noting that they do not have a disabled bathroom, likely due to the age of the building, so I can't fault them for that. Overall, I would recommend this place for Sunday lunch as well as a pint during the week."
