    Mainly an afterwork drinks jaunt. The fish and chips are done right with excellent not-completely-mush mushy peas. The burger is on the pricey side but the chips are good. The grilled broccoli was al dente, and the cabbage super creamy. Price reported is without appetiser or dessert amongst mainly teetotallers.

    The 1st time I went there the food was good but the service was bad. They promptly followed up and apologized. Maybe they had a bad day? So I went back the next day for lunch and I had a great experience. The watermelon fizz doesn't have too much alchohol & is refreshing. The butternut squash flatbread is amazing: crispy thin dough. & the real show stopper: the carpaccio. One of the best I've had. Sunday roast and chicken salad were good.
