    Our evening was a lovely experience from start to finish. There is a lovely atmosphere...half bar, half restaurant. Very relaxed vibe with lovely staff. You would be welcome to have a glass of wine and starter at the bar or a full meal which we did. Lovely short menu and the food was delicious. We wanted to try everything. We even left with a complimentary loaf of magpie sourdough. Thank you!

    We had a very good experience here on a rainy chilly evening. It was quiet, less of a scene, with good pub fare and great service.
