Highly recommend, we booked via the open table app whilst leaving the local theme park and we are grateful that we did because it was delicious! We received a very warm welcome, food was fantastic all home cooked, service was great, lovely decor very cosy, the bill was what we would expect for the quality of food. We were shocked to see how busy the restaurant was when we were leaving, especially as service was good, it is obviously a local gem!
