Dessert fans won't be disappointed with the house specialty, the Pavlova. Partner that with a deliciously brewed coffee, espresso or a dram of whisky and you'll wish you found this place sooner.

Called in to ask if they did pizza (they don’t) but they were kind enough to point us in the right direction. We ended up going back and we were very glad we did. Fantastic steaks and home made burgers. Very good on service and price. Going back in a couple of days the burgers were so good.

We've been back for lunch. Couldn't resist. English family run it. Couldn't be...
