This little restaurant is a serious contender for a...
Ā Ā Ā Read moreAbsolutely beautiful!!!!
I was seated immediately on a Saturday just as they opened at 12. The food came out fast and was served hot and fresh.
I had the sea bass which was cooked perfectly, a nice crisp to the skin. The flavours were amazing. I would definitely recommend.
I also had a choux bun for dessert which was a rich chocolaty delight!!
The atmosphere was calming and relaxed and they had a great wine list. The South African Chenin blanc was superb!!
The pricing was fair especially for Whalley and the menu had some very appealing dishes Iām wanting to try.
Thank you guys, I will definitely...
