This place is full of character a 17th century half timbered french style building proudly displaying the original musket shots from the era. But more importantly the food doesn t let the surroundings down. Offering European food with a modern English twist.





Great looking fish, trout was full of smooth flavour and the curried mussels were awesome the sauce was to die for and with the sharp salty taste of the samphire was a great match.

Apple and Cinnamon Crumble Tart with Vanilla Ice Cream.
What can I say does what it says on the tin, loved the crispy pastry shell and the crumble was sweet and well, crumbly, to be honest and this is my fault I was expecting it to be warm like a crumble rather than cold, but it is a crumble tart so i guess a tart is cold. But a great way to end the meal.

Well that and the cracking espresso martini that replaced your standard filter coffee.

Whilst the food was great I have to also comment on the excellent staff for making us feel so welcome in the current times, it s hard to be a great host with so many rules but they pulled it off brilliantly. We will certainly be back.
