Nestled in a charming setting, this restaurant offers a delightful culinary experience, characterized by beautifully presented dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. While some patrons found certain menu items, like the roast, to be average and overpriced, many praised the starters and desserts as exceptional. Service varied; guests appreciated the friendly staff but noted issues such as long wait times and confusion over wine selections. Nonetheless, the warm hospitality and quality of the main offerings, particularly the fish platter and duck curry, left a lasting impression, calling for repeat visits to savor their extensive menu and delightful ambiance.

Had an excellent meal for a family of 8. We were sat in a booth so all together. Great service and delicious food. 5 star. Had to prebook, leave a deposit and send pre orders so needed to be organised all went very smoothly. Thoroughly recommend.

I was very disappointed with the service at this restaurant. We felt rushed the entire time, and our food arrived before we even received our drinks. The staff was not very friendly.

The restaurant is beautiful and the food was delicious, but the roast was a bit pricey and average. However, the starter and dessert were very tasty. We only gave 3 stars for the service because we weren't given a wine list (the wines were listed on a board on the wall, which we didn't see until we were leaving) and when I asked for a wine recommendation, I was advised to get the Malbec, which turned out to be the most expensive wine at £16 for a large glass and it wasn't even that good. Other than that, the service was good.
