We booked quite late on for my Mums 80th birthday meal. They were really helpful and phoned us to discuss the arrangements and offered us the Shed as a private dining room. It was perfect. The kids loved having their own private area to play games and run around and my Mum loved the lack of noise from other diners. It was a nice room with a good heater. The food was very nice - we shared a Greek Meze which was delicious and then had the amazing Kleftiko with incredibly succulent meat. The kids were delighted with their menus and desserts. Mainly though thank you to the staff / owners who really looked after us and made it a special day for my Mum. Thanks so much.
