    Excellent, friendly service with tasty food. Portion sizes if anything were too big! Dog friendly and good atmosphere. I enjoyed the Sunday roast but was too full to sample the dessert menu. House red was delicious.

    Food was really nice, the restaurant is a lovely place to have a meal, and the staff are all very friendly. Been before and will definitely be going again. The pizzas are spot on and the tiramisu was amazing. Thanks for a lovely night.

    Lovely warm restaurant for a cold January evening. Male waiter wasn’t great and certainly not as efficient as we are used to at this restaurant Sad no tiramisu on the menu 😢
