A very good meal out, enjoyed exceptional service and a very relaxed atmosphere. Food was high quality and delicious, even though plates are small the price point is fair for what you receive. Menu is slightly limited but the quality of the product accounts for the smaller range. Would recommend, highly.

Visited with family last night and the food was fantastic but what made the whole experience even better was the staff. The team were brilliant and knew what exactly what was going on. Cant wait to come back to try the Sunday roast, looks amazing. Thank you all, will definitely be recommending to friends and family.
