This modern, three-tiered Gothic restaurant
has the look and feel of a medieval tavern complete with deep maroon velvet
draperies, ornately carved dark wood, cushioned high back chairs, and
stained-glass inset windows. Cobalt blue ceiling tiles in a fleur-de-lis
pattern with exquisite gold moulding surround cozy alcoves, each with unique
pendant lamps that provide the final touch of old-world charm. With a carvery
lunch menu of roast pork loin, battered cod, bacon chops with parsley sauce,
golden fried chicken, and roast crown of turkey (each accompanied by healthy
portions of green beans, potatoes—battered, fried, and mashed—carrots and
cabbage, even the heartiest appetite can be satisfied. Owned by the Mc Enaney
family, this 200 year old historic restaurant offers good food, good fun,
excellent service, and affordable prices...all in an imaginative and unique
medieval setting.
