    Had a really lovely meal. I had the venison which was delicious. My husband had the special veal with pasta which he really enjoyed. The staff were friendly & provided excellent service.

    Lovely food, great service, but got a bit too noisy as is filled up. Maybe poor table position. Won’t stop me going back .

    It was the best gluten free pizza I have had. Lovely and soft edges right to the last piece. Nice and tasty. Good menu selection, unfortunately not much if you are a vegetarian who hates mushrooms or I would have tried the risotto. Will definitely go back. Staff very friendly and lovely atmosphere .

    2nd visit and completely different from the first. Really enjoyed food 1st time… Very Disappointed this time. Change in menu, with limited choice and actually found it difficult to choose what to have. Food was ok. Wasn’t overly impressed.
