    This restaurant continues to live up to its reputation as a place where you will be delighted. It is quirky and irreverent - a real treat with a sense of humour. Kate looked after us brilliantly with a perfect balance of formality and conversation.

    Excellent tasting lunch menu. 6 courses each beautifully presented and well judged. Service informal but professional. Lovely ambience. Acoustics, where we were sitting, not great. Highly recommended

    Fabulous food in a relaxed and friendly environment. Very knowledgable staff who couldn’t do enough for you. All the dishes were delicious and we loved the element of surprise as each course was delivered. Locally sourced and seasonal produce. A real winner . Can’t fault. We will return!
