A very flat environment, lacking character. I ordered the Spanish Stew at £18.75 which took a while to come and when it did it was baking hot, I presume after being in a microwave and was anything but a Spanish Stew. It tasted awful and sickly. I cherry picked the prawns and hale and left the rest. The place next door seems to have much more atmosphere. This is a venue that has a concept but can’t deliver, There’s nothing Mediterranean about it ! Plus one of the waitresses found it interesting to constantly stare at me while eating. No thanks a waste of money and time.

100% the best place for a toasted teacake in South Molton. Love love this place, highly recommend, I'm in here at least twice a week! read more 100% the best place for a toasted teacake in South Molton. Love love this place, highly recommend, I'm in here at least twice a week!

It was one of the worst fry ups we've ever had. The staff was unfriendly, staring at us upon arrival without offering a welcome or directing us on where to sit or place an order. We would not recommend this restaurant.

Bad breakfast. I can only assume that the chef was to blame as the food took a very long time to arrive and was inedible when it did. read more Bad breakfast. I can only assume that the chef was to blame as the food took a very long time to arrive and was inedible when it did.
