Food choices varied. Some of us got lucky, whereas others not so much. The sound of the items on the menu did not completely deliver. The presentation of every dish looked extremely appetizing. The quality in most cases was very good. Stand out items was the pumpkin starter and the gammon dish.

Will definitely be back. The food and service were great. We were there early on New Year's Day, and it was a little quiet but couldn't hold that against the restaurant

Really Good brunch menu. Pancakes fab and served with plenty of crispy bacon. Waffle dish was a small portion - just the one small waffle. Excellent coffee. Excellent service. Dog friendly (on the covered terrace). The down side was that we were the only diners, so atmosphere was lacking. Very good value for money though
