It was an amazing experience. A super limited menu, which shows everything is made fresh and knowing everything is produced, forged or locally sourced. The service was very fun and looked after, without being over bearing. The food was generous and so delicious! A must visit and I'm looking forward to returning!

We are a vegan and vegetarian and there are always options available. The mushroom risotto was a good portion and very tasty. We enjoyed the wine too and the service is friendly and attentive.

Thought I was eating in a small restaurant in France. Food was absolutely delicious. Took my wife, relaxed, French cool, not pretentious. So much better than going to a chain restaurant, dinner leaves you with a memory. And unless you are a top home cook, you're never going to recreate the flavours. Perfect date night dinner choice, and if I had a mate visiting Stortford, I would definitely take him there. Breakfast menu looks great, will be going back. Thanks!
