    Excellent food very well prepared and beautifully presented. Service was rather slow but we were a party of 9. We were very hungry having just done a walk and some complimentary bread would have been welcome.

    January 10th. The restaurant was warm and inviting. The staff were lovely from the start. They were very knowledgeable about the food and the wine. The food was amazing, we shared a starter and had a main each and wine then coffee. We couldn’t find room for a dessert as the portions were generous. We would absolutely go again and take our dogs as there is an area for them too.

    Fantastic food, friendly attentive service. Sadly we were positioned next table to 2 very loud diners in an otherwise empty restaurant , which diminished our experience somewhat. With tip this came in at £50 per head for lunch. Given that we did not order any alcohol and only had starters and mains this was a little pricey for lunch. The food was excellent however.

    Small but very tasty starters. Main lovely. Monk fish, beautifully cooked but a very small portion for £30. Also some asparagus maybe for crunch would have been nice with the risotto. Crème Brûlée, outstanding!
