    Gorgeous, really unique dishes. Highly recommend the forest mushroom pie..and of course the chicken wings! Beautiful wine selection + nonalcoholic options. Great dessert, coffee and a beautiful cosy atmosphere with friendly staff too. What more could you ask for?

    The menu doesn’t deliver. Not at the prices. Maybe leaning on their reputation and times gone by but it was noticeably quiet which speaks for itself

    This was a lovely place to catch up with a few friends. The menu was varied and good value and the special starter was lovely. There was an excellent selection of wines and the service was fantastic, warm and welcoming. Even though the place was busy we got our food in super time.
