Best crabcakes ever! And try the fried green tomatoes too - incredible. Our server was Penelope and she was nothing short of amazing. I’ve been here 4 times now and have never had anything that I didn’t enjoy.

The food is excellent. I frequently can't decide whether I prefer the Fish & Chips (which is not greasy, but fresh and tasty), the Shepherd's Pie (which is very tasty and isn't overwhelmed by a large amount of crust), or the Fish Chowder (rich and creamy). My wife has the same problem with the Raglan Risotto (which she exclaims over every time she has it), the Shepherd's Pie or the Cider Salmon. And the chocolate lava cake for dessert is simply outstanding.
