To keep you on your toes our head chef changes our evening menu regularly depending on what comes in fresh that day. Everything we offer is homemade and we source as much of the produce as we can as locally as possible. We always make sure there is a choice on the menu for Vegetarians, and we ask that when booking you let us know of any dietary requirements so we can tailor that evening’s menu appropriately.

Lovely option for eating. Service excellent. Food always tasty and well presented. Varied menu options. A bit more expensive than your standard cafe but food rarely disappoints and it’s a relaxing place in which to spend quality time with family or friends.

We both chose from the Christmas menu which is really good value for 2 or 3 courses. The food was delicious and well presented. I found the quantity of the pork terrine starter and the cheese for dessert rather on the large side. Great staff, quiet ambience and lovely food - what's not to like?
