    Lovely place inside and out. Service friendly and professional although information regarding the days specials came quite late after being sat for a while. Menu read well with a nice mix of dishes and techniques on show. Classic oysters- nice fresh plump oysters Doughnuts- good soft texture little under seasoned Hash brown- over fried under seasoned Stonebass- beautiful to look at and nicely served with waitress dressing at the table, portion was very small though and flavour of dressing was a little underwhelming, nice fresh taste but little evidence it contained chilli Pork chop- nice chop well cooked with nice flavour and garnishes complemented, smoked flavour was lacking Burger- nice burger nothing out of the ordinary Cod- cooked well all round but all elements were under seasoned, much improved when i asked for some salt Chips and tenderstem were decent Trifle- good trifle the meadowsweet worked well

    Pork was beautiful, apple sauce was amazing and the cheese donuts were stunning... Unfortunately, I think Paul Ainsworth has pipped you with the trifle though... Still beautiful but I prefer the trifle at The Mariners... Sorry Adam and Andi 😔
