Wollaton – Wollaton

Latest Visit – 10th March 2012

We went with our friend Gloria for Saturday lunch. It was not a great success for a number of reasons. My original review focusses on the quality of the food and the variety of the menus. On this Saturday we were presented with a “brunch” menu. We asked the …
