"Have been aware of the reputation of this restaurant for a few years but living 25 miles away hadn’t had the opportunity to visit. However last weekend we visited along with my cousin and her husband who are regulars. Firstly, i loved the fact it was a tiny restaurant, only a handful of tables well spaced out. It’s a very intimate and cosy setting and suits the food very well. We all opted for the tasting menu..seven courses. The friendly waitress took our drinks orders, checked out any food intolerances and easily made adjustments to the dishes. Smoked duck as a first course, followed by asparagus in a lemon butter, then scallops (fantastic), next was a superb tortellini, then turbot. Next was wagyu beef, then desert of apple and I think hazelnut ice cream. Every course was simple, unfussy, but perfectly cooked and delicious. Enough time left between each course to let us relax, it was a real experience and a superb way to spend a Saturday evening. The house wine was apparently excellent (I was designated driver). And when the owner came out of the kitchen after service to speak to us, it was great to hear how passionate he was about the food and ingredients. Needless to say we will be back."
