Definitely value for money - Thursday night $25 steak night. Dressing on the salad was delicious, the seasoning on the chips was amazing, the steak was cooked to perfection and the accompanying mushroom sauce was define and the cider went down a treat on a hot night. Service was quick and efficient and delivered with a smile. Everything was on point.

There’s not one item on the current menu I wouldn’t eat. We chose a Chef’s Feed Me Menu as we couldn’t decide. Every dish was outstanding.
