Excellent food and lovely friendly service.
We have been passing this restaurant so many times without going in because it looked very formal and too flash for people like us on the way fishing or back from camping with a dog.
But we had a little holiday recently and thought we should shout ourselves nice meal, and asked if we could come in to Ascension with our dog with our casual clothing.
Everyone is so friendly and made us so comfortable.
The pork berry was absolutely amazing. It was melting in my mouth.
I must confess I was not a big fan of heavy pork berry, but this dish was unforgettable experience.
