    Loved our family catch-up at Naughtons! We all ordered the Sunday roast and thoroughly enjoyed it. The portions were generous, the potatoes were fantastic, and the unlimited gravy and Yorkshire puddings were a real treat! The service was impeccable, and we all left very happy. Oh and make sure you order the sticky date pudding - it's worth the wait! Already planning our next meal back there. Highly recommend!
