Very friendly staff and accomadating. Food tasty and felt there was enough portions without feeling too stuffed. Nice decor and ambience. Good value with Sunday 2 or 3 course offer. Feel people will by pass this place because of where it is located as not where all other restaurants are, but definitely do try it.

The service was excellent, prompt but unpretentious. The cooking of a range of dishes, for children through to a septuagenarian, was spot on.
