    This is a local restaurant and we will use it again with visitors because it simply ticks all the boxes. Food: We found this delicious (we had chicken, lamb and fish) There was a good choice on the menu- we didn't try the vegetarian this time, but will on the next occasion. This isn't an Eat all you Can type of establishment - the food is excellent and there to be savoured; the portions were enough - not too much - so my advice is order rice for the number of guests - there will be no waste. A note about the service - really efficient without feeling rushed. A note about the wine - if you prefer wine to lager maybe take your own bottle.
