Every time we visit family in the UK from home (USA), we have a meal at Bates. It has a small family feel to it which that brings people back. It provides food for every appetite, including their desserts. Which I highly recommend.
Each time we have visited the restaurant, the staff have always been over eager to please. This is the best service we have ever received from a small family restaurant. Great value for money.
When we visit again, we will certainly return, loved everything about this place. Good service, great food, unique selections and great ambience.
Can’t wait to see you guys again….
