The food is always of exceptional quality, and it may just be the best place in terms of value for money. If you enjoy meat, you absolutely can't miss their signature Angus steak dish. Kerry and Gary make a fantastic team, supported by a wonderful staff. Whether it's breakfast, lunch, or dinner—along with coffee and cake or a glass of local wine with tapas—this place has it all. Keep up the great work because it's fantastic!

The food was delicious and of a high standard, which was great for my two and five-year-olds. The service was fantastic as well. I can't recommend this place highly enough!

The calamari was delicious, and the lamb was cooked to perfection. The sticky date pudding, especially with extra toffee sauce, was simply divine. Our server, a lovely young lady, was friendly, attentive, and knowledgeable. Overall, it was great value for money, and the atmosphere was comfortable and welcoming.
