Visited a couple of times in April and were instantly made to feel welcome by Alan and jan and the food was delicious. We came back in November and again felt instantly welcomed by Jan and her daughter. Alan wasn’t there this time as he has just had surgery. Will definitely be going back again next year. Thank you Jan, Alan and family see you soon. Claire and speedy the geordies
