    This has been a long term “Sunday Lunch” favourite due to variety across four courses and never disappointed. Location gives to healthy walk before lunch to guarantee a doze once home.

    Warm welcome Very nicely set table. Sea bass outstanding, whole dish was very flavoursome without overpowering the fish. Would highly recommend it!

    A fabulous restaurant offering home cooked food. All dishes are prepared from fresh that day. Together with standard menu choices there’s a range of specials. The skate is excellent as well as the pork and beef dishes. But it’s all great.
