This was a revelation. The quality of the food was excellent. It is very rarely I am surprised by a menu but to see Turbot on a menu and to have so well cooked and presented in a small but delightful place really puts other venues to shame. The rest of the menu was equally as good. Well done and we will be back.

Brilliant customer service - we were made to feel very welcome and were well looked after throughout our meal. We shared a grilled lobster which was delicious- but were spoilt for choice with the menu. Loved the cup of chowder as a starter! An added bonus was being able to bring our dog. Can’t wait to go again- delicious food representing real value for money. Thank you
