    Tucked away inside the West Lodge Park Hotel, the Mary Beale Restaurant and Bar provides an elegant but unpretentious setting for any occasion.

    Shame about the turkey

    The ambience was lovely as were the staff. But for the price paid it was most disappointing to find the turkey was just a slice off a stuffed turkey roll. In fact there was very little turkey.More
