We dined at the bar and ordered the nachos and cheese, which were served with sour cream and salsa and were filling enough to be a meal on their own. For my main course, I chose the vegetarian fajitas, which also included a generous amount of sour cream. The cheese board for dessert was a bit disappointing as it only consisted of three small pieces of cheese, assorted crackers, and chutney for £7.95. The total bill for two of us, including 2 glasses of wine, came to a reasonable £55. The waiting staff were exceptional, with a casual and attentive approach. The dress code was smart casual.

The food at this restaurant was absolutely fantastic. Despite a last-minute booking and a phone that was not working, we unfortunately could not get a table. However, the staff were incredibly helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate us. This is a wonderful family-run business and we will definitely be returning in the future. Thank you so much for the great experience.
