Suggestions on Local Eating Places
The Pubs and Restaurants listed below are only a few of the many available.
Because many places change hands regularly, I am reluctant to recommend a particular place but please ask me and I will make suggestions that suit your personal preference. For Sunday evening meals please check with the restaurant first as many will stop serving in the afternoon
