Yummy food!! Will always recommend the daily roast! Friendly service. Husband commented on the wonderful Guiness pour with a thick enough head he could carve it with his mustache!

We were very fortunate to get a sitting as a walk in, without a booking, on a busy Saturday night. We were given a table for a hour (before a booking would take our table). It was truly an enjoyable hour well spent.
Salmon main course was succulent, Thai chicken curry while modest in portion was delightful and ‘tasted like more’. The sirloin steak eclipsed all though, in size and presentation.
Desert while worth a try, found it hard to compete with the main courses. But like every dining experience there is always going to be one course better than the other. Both the adequate cheesecake and light ‘sherry’ trifle were served with spray cream. The surprise of the desserts though incredibly was the old favourite and generously sized jelly and ice- cream.
We had a wheel chair user in our party which the staff accommodated with great ease despite bar and bistro being busy and just having one bistro table on ground floor, ( we could see the chef cooking the meals from table, which was pretty cool). The rest of the bistro side is on a one step level up mezzanine floor. The bar was bustling and had sports showing on the tv screen but this didn’t impact on the ambiance of the bistro.
Bookings are a must and you will not be disappointed with the extensive menu and the charm of the place. We will be back.
Update
And back we came on Valentine’s Day 2026 for lunch. Super experience again. Very tasty food, well presented and in a lovely environment.

Possibly the nicest fish I have had in a long time. Friendly, efficient & nice price. We went back a second night it was that good. Would advise booking.
