“Great service, delicious food - it felt like more than dinner out - a proper experience”
- Jade Squire
“We came in on Saturday night and were absolutely blown away by the food! The flavours, the décor, the atmosphere and the service, everything was spot on.The tuna starter was, in my boyfriend’s words, “the best starter I’ve ever had.” Such a lovely evening with amazing food. We’ll definitely be back!”

“We had a delicious dinner here after walking the SW coast path. The menu was varied and we thorough enjoyed the meal. Fish of the day was excellent. The member of staff that served us was excellent, extremely friendly and helpful. Thank you”
- Adrian Daniels
“This was an excellent find. We ate in the top floor glasshouse. Our waiter was excellent and very attentive. Both the starters and mains were superb. I had pate and my wife had freshly made soup. My wife then had the sea bass in Mediterranean vegetables, and I had homemade goat curry. Both were excellent but the curry was outstanding. I rarely find that a 5 star is deserved but it was here.”
- Gina Bland
“Without a doubt, the best steak I have ever had out at a restaurant! I chose the ribeye with the port and blue cheese sauce. It was fantastic. However, I had to mark down a star due to the toilets - they're in major need of a revamp.”
