    If you want very good food and a reasonable wine list then here is your place. The food we all had last night was excellent, Turkey, the pie and the diet orientated venison scotch egg was beautifully crafted and beyond delicious. Unfortunately next to us were some very loud older gentleman which meant we sometimes ended up talking louder to hear ourselves. Nobody’s fault just luck. They had a good time as well. Bless but Winter, spring or summer the Kites a great place to go.

    Great food and service, nicely decorated for Christmas. Beef short rib pie tasted amazing with the gravy, just wish there was more meat in the pie.

    Alice was amazing! She was so kind, interesting funny! She knew how to expertly open a bottle of wine and knew when to ask what we wanted and when to give us space to chat. The food was to die for too, venison scotch egg followed by Christmas Turkey dinner, coffee and a port, I am coming back again before Christmas Day!!!! Well done Kite, loved every minute, atmosphere amazing too, a safe port in a storm!!!
