What a sheer delight. Charming, simple and appealing decor with a warm and quietly festive ambiance. Very friendly staff making visitors feel welcome, valued and taken care of. Truly inventive and exquisitely tasty cuisine; the rib eye steak was perfectly seasoned and prepared, the crab on a crumpet was a rare treat, the potatoes with butter and garlic were out of this world. Probably the best restaurant experience we had on our UK trip.
