21st Birthday Party · 25 guests · January 2025

28 of us celebrated a special birthday at the rock pool area. Food and drinks were lovely. Our server was Bella and she was brilliant, very attentive, did a great job at getting the birthday cake out at the right time and she looked after us. Thank you Bella.

It would be nice to have some toilets upstairs, as we had someone with us with some mobility issues and it was inconvenient to go downstairs for the toilets.
