Very simply, one of the best meals I've had. There is a great charm about this place and the staff are really fantastic. Lots of energy and a real desire to help. Will be back lots :)

Lovely restaurant with quaint atmosphere. Whilst menu is limited, there is some variety offered. I had the burger which was very good. Service was great and prices fairly reasonable.
