    Warm welcome Very nicely set table. Sea bass outstanding, whole dish was very flavoursome without overpowering the fish. Would highly recommend it!

    As always the staff are extremely friendly and attentive to anything and everything you may need to have a lovely meal. Food was fantastic as always, even the plates were warmed up. Great menu, if you like fresh fish! Always a pleasure to return. Wine list good too. One of our favourite places to go!

    A fabulous restaurant offering home cooked food. All dishes are prepared from fresh that day. Together with standard menu choices there’s a range of specials. The skate is excellent as well as the pork and beef dishes. But it’s all great.
