This small and friendly restaurant is run by a Polish couple and offers a bistro style menu with a difference. It is excellent value for money, providing a free bottle of wine for two people. More

It was reasonably priced - for 2 people we had 2 starters, two mains (duck) and one dessert plus another half bottle of wine and... More

We had a really lovely evening - the decor and the atmosphere were cosy, friendly and welcoming. Our 3 year old is a lively chatterbox and Jan and his staff went... More
