The menu looked great and my wife and I chose to share the Afternoon Tea Platter while the kids had burgers. We were amazed by what arrived! The Platter was simply incredible. The mini burgers were delicious and the sausages with honey and mustard dressing were a pleasant surprise. The ham hock with sauce was a new dish for me and I was not disappointed. The Trout Crocettes were a highlight for me, reminding me of my time in Barcelona. Everything was served with a lovely salad and the best chips I've had in a long time. To top it off, there were lemon meringues and fresh strawberries with cream, which were delightful. The kids said it was possibly the best burger they've ever had. Our server, David, was friendly and attentive. We will definitely be back very soon. Overall, a wonderful experience.

We found the location to be very central, and the staff was extremely accommodating. We had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Maria, who was a lovely lady and went above and beyond to make sure we were taken care of. Thank you for your hospitality - we will definitely be returning.

The service was excellent, but a bit on the slow side. The waiter was very friendly, though. Unfortunately, the food was subpar. I ordered the chicken burger and it seemed undercooked, so I ended up leaving it uneaten. It was a waste of €16.50, to be honest. However, their cocktails were fantastic. I would suggest this place for drinks, but not for food. The burger was overly greasy and the bacon in it was extremely fatty, making it difficult to eat.

And clearly a microwave reheat. My girlfriend had pasta which was lovely she said. no effort by staff to even ask if meal was ok. Just took payment and not even a thank you. Won’t be returning

The duck was delicious and the mashed potato was the best I have ever had. Unfortunately the chef wouldn't give the recipe, which was very understandable. It was absolutely perfect. The desserts were fantastic. Dead by chocolate was moist and the crumble was very tasty. Would recommend people to try the restaurant. Very reasonably priced also.

Lovely quirky decor. Excellent food and a very entertaining and informative host. Plus beautiful creamy Guiness on tap. Well worth a visit. read more Lovely quirky decor. Excellent food and a very entertaining and informative host. Plus beautiful creamy Guiness on tap. Well worth a visit.

Food was tasty and well presented with plenty of it. We were there with kids and the kids were able to have pizza. Very good value for money. Staff offered excellent table service. Will definitely make a return visit.
