The decor and ambience of the restaurant were both very nice, as was the welcome from the staff. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly, and the food quality was excellent. A really lovely find, and so handy for those staying at the pub (Coackmakers' Arms) literally across a small road. Would definitely go back.
