Customer Review Summary
Reviewers consistently single out the pork belly as a standout, several calling it delicious or that it "blew us away," alongside the mushroom pasta and its garlicky topping. Seafood also draws praise, from a lobster special on a special occasion to scallops "cooked to perfection" and mussels in Thai green sauce. Desserts get repeated mentions too, with sticky toffee pudding, lemon cheesecake, and a Cow Molly ice cream all noted, and one wedding party praised the catering as exceeding expectations. Service is described as good, relaxed, and even accommodating of lateness. A couple of reviewers flag the food as slightly overpriced for what it is, with one calling the vegetarian options "quite disappointing" despite otherwise flavourful, unpretentious cooking. Several reviewers mention returning or booking again, and one table closed a late Sunday lunch with cauliflower cheese sides and shared desserts.

“Here for a late, late Sunday lunch and our table of four was the only people there. Two roast meat and two veggie meals. All good. With some cauliflower cheese and crispy kale sides. Our Cow Molly ice cream and a sticky toffee pudding rounded the meal off.”
- Jane Ripley
“A real gem. We visited the other day and I had the mushroom pasta which was so light and delicious. The garlic topping packed a punch of flavour, Lovely. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the service was exceptional. Highly recommend.”
- Anastasia
“One of the best meals I've ever had! We went for a lobster special on a Tuesday. Service was good and we got served very quickly. Every bite was absolutely delicious. Definitely recommend for a special occasion. The price was on a higher end, although expected for such a great combination of seafood.”

“Food, atmosphere and service all outstanding. We enjoyed our delicious (early) three-course Christmas dinner very much. Highly recommend.”
