The maxim of this pleasantly situated restaurant is quality food and service, and we had that in spades. A small but very adequate menu allowed us to choose mouthwatering mains, and we were asked if we were satisfied with all aspects before our final choice, as it seems a little variation is not beyond their capabilities and they aim to please. We decided to leave the dishes intact and enjoyed the views and warmth from an interesting fire consisting of a flame emanating from a container placed between two sheets of glass. Clean and efficient - not overpoweringly hot.
I had the slow roasted belly pork with chorizo crushed potato, red wine jus, apple sauce and wilted greens. It was seasoned to perfection, softer than soft and a perfect combination of ingredients. The portion was good without being overwhelming.
My friend had Moroccan lamb kebabs on Mediterranean vegetables with couscous and minted coriander and cumin dressing, which looked very appetising and was pronounced delicious.
Other options on the menu were slightly less expensive and here are some photos. I should have taken photos of our dishes, but only thought of it when it was too late!
Dessert was a shared plate of Mississippi mud pie, elegantly served with home made ice cream on shortbread, a shard of nut brittle on coffee mousse and strawberry coulis. Not overpretentious, light and refreshing. Coffee was excellent.
They are open for breakfast, lunch and dinner and have been added to my list of 'must go backs'!
