Gorgeous food and plenty of choice (vegetarians included!). All beautifully cooked. The tasting plate starter, although very tasty, was pretty small, if you're thinking of sharing.

Food excellent and quick arrival from kitchen but we were early which probably had bearing on this. Decor charming. Overall good value and really enjoyed the experience
