    Getting table here can sometimes be difficult, however I struck gold when I found one with 24 hours notice. The food was delicious and the staff super friendly and polite. We went out for a meal for my husbands birthday and on arrival he was wished happy birthday, there was a little happy birthday note on the table and again when we left they wished him happy birthday, little but nice touches. The sharing platter for starter was a great portion for 3 of us and the main courses of Duck, pork belly and steak were cooked to perfection. Certainly will be coming back.

    Amazing food! I booked the 'Festive Party Menu', the Rocksalt fish soup was full of flavour and the dark chocolate mousse was the best dessert I have had in a while. Lovely views and Christmas decorations. I would definitely recommend to a friend and would love to return in the summer.
