Service was excellent, food really good. Basic menu focusing on fresh produced cooked well. Nothing fancy. Burger isn’t a burger, it’s a flatbread wrap. Chips were lovely, huge portions. It’s small inside so got seated too close to another couple, but that’s minor. Staff were lovely. Very reasonably priced for this part of London.
