Thoroughly enjoyed the cod with crab sauce. The bean & bacon broth was a bit salty for my taste but I suppose that's the bacon. My friend enjoyed her crab, which I've had before (though why crab has to come from Dorset when it's such a local delicacy we don't understand). I do miss the specials that used to be on the board - there was a new fish dish every time I came and all were excellent.

Food quality and service were very good. We were disappointed however, after ordering a bottle of still water we received a bottle of tap water which in which you could taste the chlorine. For this we were charged £3.50 + 10% which rather took the shine of the lunch experience.
