    Outstanding food, great wine list. The pork belly in particular was utterly sensational. The staff are absolutely wonderful, so friendly and helpful. Nothing is too much trouble. Highly, highly recommended.

    We started with the beetroot/fig salad which was the perfect starter on a hot day: so refreshing and full of flavour. This was followed by the pork belly accompanied by silky puree mash. The richness of the meal was beautifully cut by the sauerkraut and the tart apple sauce. Not a morsel of food was left and two clean plates were returned to the kitchen. This was followed by a shared to-die-for crème brûlée. Beautifully silky!!. Oh my word, I wish we had ordered two. The service was also very attentive service.

    Every dish had something ‘extra’ in terms of either preparation or ingredients - wow!
