Delicious oysters to start. The skate wing was enormous & full of flavour. The cheese board was enough to share. Friendly helpful staff; so for our first visit, we were thoroughly impressed.

This has been a long term “Sunday Lunch” favourite due to variety across four courses and never disappointed. Location gives to healthy walk before lunch to guarantee a doze once home.
