I met a friend and her dogs here for lunch, and we sat outside on the deck and had lunch. It was absolutely the best choice we could have made; the food was amazing and looked so pretty! Jo, the manager, and the bar gentleman were lovely and helpful, even bringing water out for the dogs xx. This is the first time since they re-opened, and I highly recommend it!

Great location and friendly and helpful staff. There was a mix-up with one of the food items, which was probably my fault, but the staff did everything they could to help, and they were lovely to my family and me. The food was delicious, and great choices on the menu. We will be back for sure!

I had afternoon tea here. It's the best bar, far from those I have been to. Everything was very fresh, and the presentation was spot on. I thought the price was reasonable. The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Excellent service. Lovely atmosphere. I would be going again and would definitely recommend it to others.
