A present for my birthday, owner driver whole day course with Dave. Took the Jeep Rubicon, and did stuff in it I’d never dream of doing. Dave’s instruction is clear, concise, and inclusive, the quarry is amazing, the severity of some of the slopes is bordering scary, and the feeling afterward is amazing. Can’t praise them enough. Go do!

Met an ex work colleague for lunch here and it’s a lovely place to shop for fine foods and eat in the cafe or restaurant upstairs. Not cheap but well presented fresh meals served by pleasant staff. I just had a smoked salmon & cream cheese sandwich with a side order but my friend had one of the daily specials of sea bream. Both dishes were superb and the deserts were irresistible. Great surroundings and will return soon to buy some specialities for my guests over Christmas.
