    Lovely restaurant not far from home, only a couple of villages away. The food was quick to order & the tastes were great, all fresh ingredients.

    Food was beautiful, but disappointed that there was an extra charge of over £23 added to the bill as we were classed as a party, there was 6 of us my husband, myself and our 4 kids, not really a party just my family.

    The food here is wonderful. I would totally recommend the prawn and smoked salmon stack. The menu is clearly marked with gluten free and vegan options. The server was very helpful and checked with the chef about the lactose content of the dish for me. It was god to see people having a drink at the bar as well as lots of folk dining in the restaurant area.

    Feb 2025. Sunday roast : Great quality produce cooked to a high standard. Would definitely recommend and will be visiting again. You will never leave hungry as the portion’s are big :-)) Looking forward to going back especially in the summer as they have a nice outdoor seating area.

    It’s the first time we’ve been here after several friends recommended and were not disappointed!! The staff were friendly, the food was amazing and when you are wanting to come straight back to try other things on the menu it’s always a good sign!! Can’t wait to come back for more, loved it….
