Really lovely evening at the Nevill Arms - we went for the supper club, you’d imagine on such a busy evening it would feel rushed, but the staff were lovely, offering time between the two courses, chatty and checking in. Food was great and perfect with the weather, drinks were plentiful. Will be back!
