From the moment we arrived, the customer service was excellent. We opted for the Chef's Share Plate for four people and the food was simply delicious (and loads of it as well). We're not from the area (it's a half way point for girlfriends to catch up) so it was a serendipitous find indeed, and one we will undoubtedly return to again. A fabulous four hour lunch that we all thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish. Can highly recommend.

The food, the service, the ambience were all terrific. My one criticism was for the gin and tonic and vodka and tonic that we had to start. Neither of us could taste either alcohol and the tonic must have been from a gun as it had almost no fizz and tasted very flat. Disappointing in an otherwise terrific offering.
