    Excellent service with very polite, friendly and attentive staff who were very helpful in advising one of the party who had dietary requirements. We all ate from the set menu which gave a good choice of interesting dishes. All the food was very well cooked, delicious and well presented. The restaurant has a pleasant , friendly atmosphere without being noisy. Good value for money and very close to car parking. Can thoroughly recommend.

    Great surroundings and excellent, attentive service. A couple of points though, the food gets cold very quickly so the offer to have hot plates would be nice. For the bigger eaters, I would like to be offered another roast potato in addition to the Three, which would hardly eat into profits and at £22 two pieces of meat is a bit frugal. All in all, it is an honest review, but there are so many improvements since it was our local 17+ years ago. Lots of patronage, so it must suit so many.

    Great service - very personable staff with a bit of classic professionalism. Food (onion soup, crudités, moulds frites and Breton fish stew) was all lovely. Portions adequate but if you have a big appetite you might want to order extra sides.
