“The restaurant itself is beautifully presented and welcoming. The food was really good I can’t wait to return to try other dishes on the menu.
“I had a selection from the tapas menu and the Korean pork ribs were to die for. The Spanish tortilla was one of the nicest I’ve had outside of Spain! The staff were very attentive and nothing was too much trouble even though it was busy. Can’t wait to return.”
Another reviewer, Megan R, said: “The staff are so welcoming and they always remember my coffee order, which is such a lovely touch.

“Staff are so helpful and ever so polite. We both enjoyed & my partner was more pleased they did a tasty gluten free option that didn’t compromise on flavour.”
Meanwhile, another reviewer had one criticism, even though the overall was a good picture: “First visit to area so looked on trip advisor where to get breakfast and this came up as best so gave it a go and was not disappointed. Great menu and delicious food .
“Highly recommend full English, and the eggs Benedict was really tasty with the ham hock. Would certainly return if in the area again, only downside is dogs are not allowed inside, so it’s outdoor seating only which is fine in a dry day but not so great on a bad day.”
