A little gem in the heart of Burford - just off the high street with a lovely garden area that is also very quiet. The food was lovely with generous portions and the staff were all very good. Overall a great experience

Compliments to the chef and his staff for once again a wonderful Sunday Carvery Lunch. All restaurant staff extremely friendly and helpful. I have 2 elderly parents with mobility issues but there is always plenty of space in the restaurant. Wish you did the Carvery more often. Will be going again as my parents are small eaters and being able to choose how much and what they want is brilliant. Thank you all so much.
