   Chilled Sunday evening meal - we couldn’t be bothered to cook! Small menu but a good range to choose from. Staff chilled, helpful and engaging but not in your face. Didn’t want something too heavy or meaty, had the roast tomatoes, polenta, whipped cured & pesto - it was delicious. We eat here often, I prefer it less busy & this evening was perfect for us.

   The crab pasta was overcooked / mushy and incredibly bland and a bit cold. We ordered garlic focaccia bread and received a thick dense brown bread that had garlic butter instead. It was nothing like focaccia. The chips were all bitty and tasteless. The children’s meal was over salted and too much batter for the fish. Really disappointing. Otherwise the pub and service as nice enough but definitely question the food quality based on my lunch today.

   This was a spectacular dinner find! Creative and delicious food and nice sized portions! An adorable and charming restaurant with attentive waitstaff. Would come back in a heartbeat but sadly, only here for a brief time on holiday so had one opportunity. Do give it a try!

    Absolutely beautifully cooked food - with such thought to the combination of flavours. So good that we went for 3 courses. Haven’t eaten anything so delicious for a long time. Will be back as soon as we can. Excellent service, great selection of drinks and lovely atmosphere. 5 star!
