Visited on the late bank holiday Monday for some al fresco lunch. I had picked this out on the strength of the reviews and we were not disappointed. It was quiet with less than 12 customers, but we were the first to arrive when it had just opened. My partner had a fish tortilla and I had a fried chicken sandwich. Both dishes were excellent for the price point. Fresh tasting, cooked perfectly and super tasty. We also had some french fries and these were again cooked to perfection. Sometimes the simple pleasures are the best. Decent white wine, crispy fries and sunshine, bliss. Service was lovely and we both would be happy to return.
