Very delicious and surprising starters. Main courses were very tasty and beautifully set out. Puddings were fine. It’s a really lovely place to eat and hear each other talk. Jade and Josh run a great little restaurant. Not cheap but special. I recommend this place.

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.
