Lovely little restaurant with such a nice ambience. Service and food were excellent- despite a sudden cooker failure limiting the menu, staff were extremely accommodating, helpful and ensured that we still had a wonderful night. Thank you so much, we could see what a stressful night it was for staff but they managed it incredibly well and we will certainly be back soon!! Highly recommended!

This long established restaurant has been given consistently excellent food and service for many years. Our go to choice for a special meal out even though it’s nearly an hours drive it’s always worth it. Nico did a superb cocktail when we arrived, starters were excellent as were the mains and a variety of choices set it apart from most others.
