Gosh... where to begin... A little gem hidden behind Tot Crt Rd, off the Elizabeth Line. Tidy menu, and when the food comes, it's like straight out of mamma's kitchen. Looks like a proper meal with protein and veg on 1 plate and well-seasoned. Service is warm, relaxed, and friendly. We're already looking for our return visit.
