    Mrs R had the beetroot salad & I had the pate to start with. Both very flavoursome & well recieved. Mrs R had the red mullett for mains with sweet potato fries & veg. She said it was delicious. I had the beer battered haddock with pea puree & chips. The fish was probably the best I had ever had to be honest, together with the homemade tartare sauce. Unfortunately that's where the plaudits stop. The pea puree was only lukewarm & my pet hate it tepid food. The chips were at best awful. Over cooked & lacking substance. A bottle of Picpoul shared at a tad short of £40 was at the top end for the quality of the wine. All in all acceptable due to the scrumptious nature of the fish. Would I go back...most definitely, I just hope it was a bad night for the chips.
