One stop eatery
We’ve combined bar, restaurant, and café into a truly individual one stop eating and drinking experience.

We’re open, so why not stop by and sample our great food and drinks, and experience our unique, welcoming atmosphere.

Note when booking - a high top table is a taller table with bar stool height chairs, the chairs have backs and are very comfortable but we recommend not booking these if you have very young children (under 5s) or members of your party who are less able bodied.

    Unfortunately this establishment isn’t just a restaurant it’s a bar open to the locals that like to shout at the top of their voice and swear in front of staff and children and the staff just laugh about it. The food is absolutely amazing which is why it’s a shame to mark it down but ask yourself would you pay the best part of £120 for rude guests shouting across your dining experience with no staff interaction?

    Overall the food was ok however the pie dinner was the worst I ever had the veg had just been shown the water practically raw and the pie was disgusting and you charge £18.95 for something inedible. Our bill was £157 and the food did not reflect the price at all £38 of that my husband and I could not eat !! The grandchildren enjoyed theirs so I guess that was a bonus.
