3 months agoWe visited as a family of 4 today to have the festive menu and wow the food was amazing! All of the dishes had so much flavour and the meat just fell apart. There was also lots of it so it was very filling but well worth every penny. The cheesecake was one of the best I have ever had and I would say this has probably been one of the best meals I've had out in a while. The staff were lovely and attentive and it was just a nice atmosphere. Thank you for an amazing meal, we look forward to coming back in the new year! Merry Christmas to you all

11 months agoI had a lovely family meal here today, with 5 people. The atmosphere was lovely, well decorated and feels very intimate. Even with the lights, there were windows that were letting in some gorgeous sunshine from outside. The service was great, but unfortunately there were only 2 members of staff for a full restaurant! There definitely needs to be more because it did take things like paying and ordering a bit longer than ideal. However, the staff were still great, checking on us and if we needed any drinks through the meal. The staff also were lovely and accommodating for my father, letting us have a take out box because he couldn't finish his meal. The food was great value for money and was delicious. The portions were very generous and the quality was lovely. My only suggestion would be to have some more veg on the chicken and pork dish, but overall, absolutely delicious and will be back!

3 months agoWent for a Christmas meal, have to say one of the nicest meals I’ve had for a long time, all homemade and each course delicious. So refreshing to have a local place that isn’t just a chain menu. Far surpassed any expectations, would throughly recommend, just chained hands too so I hope you go and give it a try !
