Specials (using fresh local produce wherever possible) are listed on the ever-changing blackboard, and whether you're after a light meal or something more substantial there is always something to be found from either the a-la-carte or the lunch menu (both...

Every meal i've had here has been pure perfection. I've had excellent squid and even better duck! The wine selection is good and its pretty easy to book in. This restaurant is very good value for the fabulous quality of food you get.

LOVED the food and the good wine. The staff were really pleasant and professional, despite the fact that the place was heaving. Only gripe was that the tables could be better positioned,

Pleasant dining experience with great staff and good food. Most tables good but a couple by the kitchen and near the loos need better screening

Had a enjoyable night at Mean Fiddlers, the waitress's where very good. Most of what we ordered lacked in flavours you would expect from a fine dining restaurant and Unfortunatly our steak was under cooked. If you are looking for a home cooked meal then this is the place for you.

For those who do not wish to venture into the world of exciting food. The waitress serving us needed intensive training in customer service.

We had a really great waiter who couldn't do more for us. The meals were fantastic and at the end of the night we were offered complimentary baileys and port, which top off a great night! A credit to everyone!
