Perfectly nice lunch though the open fire grilled dishes better than the pastas. Atmosphere was lovely in the front room but we were in the back which is a bit duller.

The best calves liver I have ever had . Delicious food all round . The place was buzzing and busy , full of young and old alike. The decor is quirky and stylish but not so smart that you can’t relax. we will definitely be booking again.
