This is lovely relaxed restaurant to eat in. Good food and lovely staff. It is family orientated which we love and offers an excellent children's menu however it is also a nice place for adult get togethers. We are fairly regular diners here and definitely recommend it.

Relatively small menu with a focus on quality, the food we had was awesome. Shared a few small plates, highly recommend the wings and onion rings. Place has a great vibe, was really busy due to a sold out gig nearby however the staff were incredibly professional
