    The decor and ambience of the restaurant were both very nice, as was the welcome from the staff. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, and the food quality was excellent. A really lovely find, and so handy for those staying at the pub (Coackmakers' Arms) literally across a small road. Would definitely go back.

    The food was top draw! Fillet Steak & Hake with Shellfish. BOOM! Looked and tasted delicious. Red wine Grenache Noir was perfect temperature. Table set up was great. Nice cutlery, napkins and glassware. Whole place was spotless. Including the clean, maintained and well stocked toilets. Bringing over the little lamp to the darker table in the corner is a nice touch. Team were good and have the potential to be great with more experience. IE Check back on mains and offer of more drinks.
