a quiet lounge with an iconic island bar and lots of seating space and great . Great for a quick business meeting or catch up with some friends in the evening or to catch the latest football highlights on the big screen (nothing rowdy). I often tuck into that late night caesar salad and a refreshing coffee and (ahem!) chocolate dessert. For those who care for a ‘very’ hearty breakfast, make sure you get in there early enough and make the most of their 3-hour long buffet breakfast. You will be spoilt for choice. |
