another one wrote: “Waited in line for about 45 minutes before being seated for the delicious carvery. Excellent Service, even though it was so busy you didn’t feel stuck as I feared.”

Somebody else added: “I like it. When I go to a World Cup Final or a big concert, part of the fun is the excitement of the banter and the anticipation as you queue up. You can also have a glass so it’s not really a problem. A nice touch when the rain comes, curling around the piano with the tail just in.” Anyway, it doesn’t matter since a reservation system is planned soon.”

Someone else had a different opinion don’t write: “There was a terrible queue in front of the bar, over 100 people, so we ignored the queue and went to the Hop and Chop tent.”
