This is a fantastic restaurant! You have to suspend disbelief at first. It seems rather small and very old fashioned with old English classics on the board. Special of the day was toad in the hole and puddings include spotted dick and knickerbocker glory. It feels very much like a throwback to my 1970s childhood but with much better cooking. But please don't be fooled!!! We ordered seafood chowder, crab linguini, lobster linguine, crab cakes and traditional fish and chips. All were faultless. Very fresh seafood not overcooked at all.

Read moreFantastic small family run restaurant on the highstreet. Read great reviews and had walked past this place many times before. We had dinner there on Thursday night, the manager/owner was so friendly and really made us feel welcome, she spoke to every customer in fact, and helping those that needed that little extra support.

The price was just right, they had some delicious looking desserts too but we were too full up! If you want a lovely dinner, this is the place to go, they are only open in the evenings from 5.30pm - 8.30pm so its dinners only. We...
