One of our favourite restaurants and it does not disappoint. Once again we enjoyed a warm welcome, a well situated table, excellent choices and food served in a professional yet friendly manner. We had the ducking, sea bass and beef duo. All were excellent as was the delicious beetroot soup and venison ragu. It is great to be able to rely on a restaurant for ethically sourced and delicious food when entertaining guests.
