    We had dinner for 8. Food was exceptional from the potato cakes and scotch eggs to the mains which included a very tasty pie, fish burger and steak. All were fabulous. Wine and beet selection was also great. Definitely will be back. Thanks for a wonderful night.

    What an incredible experience. From the moment I booked online, until I left. I can’t fault the restaurant, the staff were courteous, very attentive and accommodating. The food was tasty, different and delicious. The ambiance was soft sweet and had a good vibe. Sitting out doors, was cosy!!! Yep directly under a heater! The decor, tables, chairs was very old style yet fashionable and very delicate.. it’s a must..the price is quite reasonable.

    Incredibly welcoming, great vibe, moody lighting and music. Service was so so excellent, our water glasses were never empty! Attentive to special requests and sensory accommodations. Mains came out perfectly after entrees, leave enough time for the crumble (20-30 mins), and the thyme custard cake was divine.
