I can’t fault the Usual Place, Beautiful surroundings in a converted church. All the staff are very welcoming and friendly. Our meals were excellent and the portions were generous and very reasonably priced. Well done to all staff, keep doing what you do, and be proud of yourselves.

Fantastic place provides training opportunities for differently abled people. Everyone was polite, efficient, food was delicious and good value. Plenty of vegan and vegetarian options. Old church building beautifully renovated, warm and clean.
