The restaurant has a charming exterior and a spacious and cozy interior. The menu offers a good variety of options. As someone who isn't a fan of chicken, it can be difficult to find something I would enjoy at some restaurants, but that's not a problem here.

The Gammon Steak I ordered was very disappointing - I received two small pieces of overcooked ham on a plate with a side of fries. It was a sad looking meal, to say the least. There are many other restaurants that deserve our business more than this one. The staff was informed of our dissatisfaction before we left.

I had a great meal here last summer for Saturday lunch in a busy bar, so I decided to come back again. I was surprised to find the bar practically empty this time, and now I understand why. The food was barely edible, so I definitely won't be returning.
