    Very friendly, helpful and accommodating staff. Food is exceptional, using local produce. Also tasty, generously proportioned and well presented. Above average prices for the a la carte menu, but worth the cost! Lovely outlook in the outdoor garden. Car park rather small but some on road parking available.

    Very quiet. We were a table of 4, there was a table of 2 when we arrived who were finishing up. Sat by the garden doors, food was very good and server was excellent. Quite pricy but thoroughly enjoyed.
