You can eat as much or as little as you like, and we have a large selection of meats on offer, so you can stick to what you know or try something a little bit different! We also have a selection of Vegetarian, Halal and Fish dishes on offer and the salad bar which is the perfect start to your meal, and accompanies our entire menu perfectly as little palate cleansers between each skewer that reaches your table.

We had a delicious lunch today. My friends tried the coated sardines which looked great and the spicy lentil soup. Both thoroughly enjoyed them. Two of us had cod with chicken butter sauce served th white beans which was light and moreish; the other had slow cooked lamb which he said was very tasty and a substantial portion. The desserts were the chocolate espresso plate which I had tried before- it’s wonderful - and apple crumble whic h was demolished.

We loved the food the menu was explained to us for things we didn’t know. The starters were so good we were almost full before the main course arrived. I had a pudding which was so unusual we loved exploring it. I am going to go back as soon as I can.

The seafood linguine was delicious though it could have been a little hotter. The lunch time menu was great for my friends, they said. Staff were friendly and helpful however we were left with a number of cups, saucers and teapots on the table for a while. Would still recommend the restaurant for the food, ambience and friendly staff. Will definitely be back.
