Great value for money, and a fantastic discovery hidden in plain sight down a side road. Wasn't sure what to expect but the tudor ? lined wall matched up as a lovely surprise with really well cooked food. Mackerel tacos were super fresh, pork belly was unctuous and the desserts looked amazing. Obviously popular with some regular diners, the word needs to get out there to the rest of Exeter Only downside is that it might not be the easiest of venues to access for those with limited mobility and the acoustics meant that we heard a lot of other peoples conversations although they may just have been very loud .
