Reviews

A lovely place to stop in for lunch. Very friendly staff. We were seated in the leafy terrace area which is unfortunately a bit noisy but still comfortable. Drinks arrived quickly and our order was taken and delivered just as fast. Everything was very tasty. The haddock was delicious and the burger was very good.…
