    Fabulous evening. Food and service were excellent. Staff were attentive, friendly and helpful, making the whole expedience wonderful. So good to have a great local fish restaurant (they serve meat too!!) that is good value but also gives that “ special night out” feel.

    We went with a group of friends, we had tempera prawns that were enormous and perfectly cooked, lobster linguine which was amazing and two of us had the monk fish and prawn curry, again amazing. We will be back! Was too cold to sit outside so if you are just having a drink, there's a sofa beside the open fire or pop to the other side of the bar for the restaurant where there is another open fire. Very pleasant, food is excellent, and staff are friendly too :-)
