The owners seem to have successfully negotiated the transition from ordinary local pub, through gastro-pub, to up-market restaurant. The quality is excellent, although the higher prices do mean that we go there less often now, for special occasions rather than our regular meals out. They'll now have to change the name of the road to "No.15 Road"!
