    We had a lovely evening; first visit for a few years due to ill health. Menu was interesting and food delicious. Portions huge and we took home what we couldn’t eat. Service, as ever, was lovely, friendly and helpful. We’ll return again soon

    My wife and I have been coming here for brunch for quite some time now. We did have a little blip, at one point, but we don't let that tarnish our overall experience which has been really great! The food tastes amazing. I highly recommend you try it 👍
