Great meal out today at the Hawke. We had the rib-eye beef and chicken schnitzel roast. We enjoyed it with a Malbec and honestly it was the best I’ve ever had. The beef was thick cut, cooked to perfection. My only ask is please can we get some cauli cheese as a side on the menu! The service was also great, very attentive but relaxed and nothing is a bother. We’ll be back here very soon for sure.

Food overall was good. The Welsh rarebit for starters was good as was the roast for mains, although it could have more gravy, which wasn’t a problem when we asked for more. Service and attention to detail could be better. They forgot two of our starters which they apologised and deducted our starters from the bill. Water carafe and wine was neglected, which should be automatically topped up. Plus I asked for the heating to be turned on otherwise we would’ve kept our coats on. If they can refine those small details, then it would deserve 5 stars.

This was my first visit to Little Mercies and it was absolutely spectacular. The staff were super friendly and helpful, the service was brilliant. Cocktails sensational, and the food was unbelievably good,I honestly think that the beetroot was the best thing I’ve ever eaten. I don’t live anywhere near to this restaurant but feel like I would go out of my way to go back again.
