Stepping into this pub feels like being welcomed into a home where every dish is crafted with love and passion. The homemade food here is simply outstanding, but it’s the lamb shank that truly steals the show. Cooked to perfection, for 7 hours, each tender bite bursts with rich, hearty flavours that linger on the palate, creating a symphony of taste. The combination of succulent meat and expertly balanced seasonings makes this dish a must-try. Beyond the incredible food, the staff’s attentiveness elevates the entire dining experience. They greet you with warm smiles, anticipate your needs…

Had a lovely evening with friends. The menu is full of delightful new things and items to try and for your taste buds to enjoy. Wine served in small carafe as well as by the glass or bottle. I had a wonderful 3 cheese and hazelnut soufflé. We also had some tender stem broccoli, the ingredients having been adapted to accommodate an allergy. Thoroughly recommend.

We enjoyed a fantastic dinner with drinks here last week. It's like a cozy Dinner-Pub with farm to table classic cooking. Flavourful and thoughtfully paired, the menu is just the right size. The service was excellent - down to earth and very welcoming. Reserve a table and ask for one by a window would be my tip!

Lovely spot recommend by a friend who lives in London. The roman courgettes were lovely particularly, also the tomato dish. We had the lamb as well. Make sure you order it or rather reserve it as soon as you are seated I’d say because they ran out soon after. Falls apart as you serve. Tarama was very fluffy and not fishy at all. Service was a little spotty but I guess it is understandable as it was 8-9 of us. The flourless chocolate cake was absolutely great. Very decadent.

We’d been here for dinner a few years back - it was good back then and just as good now. We shared roast beef with dauphinoise potatoes and buttery cabbage. And then for dessert we had Tiramisu + chocolate pot with ginger stem ice cream. Can’t really fault the food. It’s not cheap but you get what you pay for and the service is good.
