Such a stunning pub. Great interior and vibe to it with an incredible menu. Great for sharing! The duck tartlets are to die for as well as the sea bream! Love this place. Wil definitely be back.

Delicious food, lovely service, warm, cosy decor (but the lighting is a little low to read the menu). Everything is cooked on an open fire so expect bold smoky flavours and imaginative sharing dishes. The leeks with mushroom and pecorino, and the red mullet masala were stand out dishes, as we're the desserts. Impressive wine list too. Expect to be bustled out after two hours as this place is buzzing.
