    We were up in Belgrave and decided for a pub meal instead of a cafe style one . What an inspired choice. Staff were attentive from the moment we walked in . Gave great recommendations and the empty plates was the end result. Gotta try the Greek Salad. Prices were very reasonable. Will most certainly be back
