I ordered the squid and a burger, but found them to be nothing special. I would probably skip this place next time. I considered trying something else, but thought it was a bit pricey. If I had tried something else and been disappointed, I would have given it a lower rating.

Lovely restaurant, cosy and friendly, good banter with the staff. Would recommend. read more Lovely restaurant, cosy and friendly, good banter with the staff. Would recommend.

Every meal we had was delicious, with the salt and pepper squid being a standout. We also enjoyed dishes such as langoustines, sea trout, monkfish, and venison - all of which were excellent. The atmosphere was pleasant and the staff were fantastic.

I booked a table for 9 people, arrived at half 7 to find we had 2 seperate tables which I really wish they had told me as it split the company and I would’ve booked elsewhere to accommodate the larger party. We were seated next to an extremely loud Christmas party where a few folk couldint obviously handle their wine, I appreciate they are on their night out but save the hysterics for the pub! Had to shout across the table to get a conversation the whole night which wasint ideal. Anyways I ordered the fish and chips which i usually get because it’s a fantastic dish. However when it came the portion size was a joke, my girlfriend was there a week back and the difference was incredible! I’ll post the photos of the difference down below. Paying 18 pound for fish and chips and getting half a portion is ridiculous. The batter on the fish was poor and the chips certainly weren’t triple cooked. So dissapointing as I love the drouthy and have been many times. Unfortunately I won’t be back again.
