    From the moment that we arrived we were made to feel welcome and valued! Cocktails were enjoyed as we made our choice from a range of French Classic dishes with a modern twist. Confit of Duck a L’Orange and the Bourguignon were chosen, followed by French cheese for two. A very reasonably priced Red Wine, a Granache added to our delight.

    Very original food, we had the prune, the egg, the iberico salad, the crozetto, the flatbread and dessert. Everything was amazing! The prune is served with an incredible balsamic vinegar, and is introduced as you would for a wine. This was already an experience in itself. All the other dishes were so flavoursome and the flatbread is a must-have! The dessert was a rhubarb cake served with a shot of rum, and was the perfect ending to a feast! We will definitely be back
