    We ordered the sour dough bread, 2 x potted lobster starters, 2 x specials of Halibut and masala cod, 1 x bottle of wine and a dessert. The bill came to £150 but it was worth every penny. Everything was cooked to perfection, the sour dough bread was beautiful. The service was great. Highly recommend.

    Second time we have been here and there was nothing second about our experience, first class service in lovely surroundings and the food, well, all I can say is it was perfect in every way. My wife had soufflé to start and lamb as a main, I had scallops to start and halibut as my main and it was amazing, bursting with flavours, fresh, and cooked to perfection. We both loved everything we ate and we ate everything ! Without doubt, the best meal we’ve had this year, we strongly recommend anyone to try this fantastic little restaurant, book early to avoid disappointment, you won’t find a better restaurant, it was delightful. We also thought the prices were very reasonable for the quality of food served.
