Service a bit slow. Eaton mess had unripe strawberries which spoilt it.

We all had a lovely time yesterday. As it was so hot I thought that maybe a few fans inside would have helped. The only criticism from one of our family was that the vegetables were a bit too hard. Our waitress Maisie was lovely and attentive. All in all we had a lovely time.

A good meeting place!
