Only downside is not open all week. On the pricey side but worth it! Been a few times and will continue in the future.

We had a late lunch with a total of twenty-four people. The staff was friendly and helpful, the food was delicious and enjoyed by all. Special requests, such as a bacon sandwich for one guest and a children's menu for the four infants, were accommodated. We were informed ahead of time that service might be slow due to the large group, so we had some shared starters to tide us over. Main courses were preordered two days in advance. The atmosphere was relaxed, allowing us to move between tables and chat comfortably. The children had space to play outside under family supervision. Although we were initially given 90 minutes for our reservation, we were able to stay longer until our group naturally dispersed. Overall, everyone had a great time and my birthday celebration was perfect.

The team serve up the most fabulous, colourful, fresh and creative plates of foods, always so incredibly delicious with such great variety and flavour. Despite the small menu it’s still difficult to choose between the dishes on offer. We had the aubergine mezze plate and the shawarma chicken skewers all incredible. We just about had room to share the most deliciously moist orange, almond and chocolate cake which was divine. Also, we brought home a date and oat slice to enjoy over coffee the next day, this was again completely delicious. The wines by the glass are fabulous and the coffee excellent. Lovely friendly staff. Need we say more. It’s a very popular place and deservedly so, recommend booking for lunch to sit inside although walk ins may be accommodated on the outside tables. Cannot wait to return for another fantastic lunch.
