An absolute pleasure to celebrate my daughters 18th birthday here at the weekend. The service was relaxed but attentive, the food was glorious, fresh and plentiful. The drinks were varied, beautifully made and served quickly. The atmosphere was very relaxed, we felt right at home. Not too noisy but ambient enough not to feel stuffy. The table was roomy, especially for 9 and we had plenty of room. All in all it was a very enjoyable visit and I would most definitely recommend.

We enjoyed the food as it was cooked well. We would have probably enjoyed it more if we could have eaten outside, the problem was that only a few of the tables on the patio had umbrellas and we were told you couldn’t have food in the larger garden where there were plenty of parasols. It was the hottest day of the year so far and although the barman said he had umbrellas/parasols on order surely this should have been thought of earlier in the Spring!
