    Amazing customer service. Had issues getting to the restaurant at our designated time and they were very accommodating and very welcoming, even on a very busy Easter Sunday! Food was delicious and my son, who normally eats bare minimum ate all of his food. Well worth a visit. Decor was also amazing! Shame we don’t live closer!

    Fabulous brunch, delicious food,friendly service and the added bonus of being entertained by a brilliant guitarist/singer. Also great to be able to bring our friend’s dog with us. We’ll be back!

    Usually here for breakfast and it’s fabulous, great staff, food and ambience. However, today we came for lunch and sadly my veggie roast had a piece of paper in it, cloaked in gravy. I raised it with a member of staff who walked away and didn’t return with any form of explanation or apology from the kitchen team. Maybe it was edible or part of the dish, who knows?

    Visited with our 2 children on a very sunny day. Roast was piping hot and absolutely delicious. Very sympathetic staff who hurried our starving children’s food for us. Really lovely!!

    I loved coming here for my Mother’s Day lunch with my lovely mother. amazing food and great atmosphere. I’ve grown up here and find it such a shame the prices are so high. Unfortunately it’s not affordable for coming often. The staff are so lovely and kind, the lovely girl who served on us with tattoos, was so lovely and sweet!

    Staff members are polite and helpful , we had a great waitress called Jo-Jo, answered all questions with a smile. Food on a very busy Mother’s Day was delicious and plentiful . A very happy ambience. Would recommend this lovely setting overlooking the beach
