A slightly odd arrival, I had a booking but no space on ground floor so was taken to first floor, and left here as only customer for 30 mins. Food all arrived at once, when I asked for starter then main. I asked for dessert menu and got the bill. The food was very tasty and well presented

Food is really nice and so tasty. The wine ( Viognier ) was lovely. Great service and a lovely little restaurant building. Took my husband as he hadn’t been and he loved every course from the 3 course meal deal. The truffle chips are amazing.
