Fabulous meal ,started with cocktails at the bar then at the table shared a calamari starter which was delicious. Next was a duck Rendang curry with Jasmine rice and fishcakes with a side of chips and we shared chocolate truffles to finish with something sweet. All served beautifully. Loved it all and would highly recommend.

Really enjoyed this little gem of a restaurant. I wanted something away from the bottomless brunch scene which is taking over everywhere so decided to try here. We visited Saturday afternoon and spent an enjoyable couple of hours. Steak, Seabream, sides, dessert and wine. All exceptional and £60 pp including service charge was v good value as the food was top quality. And ino bottomless brunch crowd to be seen… added bonus 🙂
