Friday is of course our fish & chip special, we also have this beauty on our specials menu, while stocks last....

Chicken supreme with mushroom risotto - featuring exotic mushrooms and tarragon butter!

Side note - last night there was a major issue with our website, it looked like complete gibberish - our IT guy spent a few hours putting it all back to how it should be, so its up and running again for your online bookings and online orders.

See you soon....

We have shiny new lights!!!

The thought behind it is to indicate that we are infact open......if the lights are on come on in, if the lights are off - come back tomorrow! 💡

Last night we hosted a private function for a local club - while we were there we had several phone calls asking if we were open, can I book a table, can I order takeaways, so now we are seriously considering opening Wednesday evenings as well, we just need to figure out staff, our staff all work very hard as it is BUT - watch this space.....

By the way - yes we are open tonight! No set 'Thursday specials' yet, but we do have some amazing dishes for you to try!

See you soon!

Duck Risotto, one of our chefs evening specials this weekend.

Crispy skin duck breast on top with pulled confit duck leg through the risotto, pair that with any one of our local pinot noirs - heavenly! 👌

A couple of days ago our Shaz celebrated a very special birthday, I won't say how old -just that its definitely a milestone worth celebrating in style! 🥳

Since Shaz has come on board with us she has been nothing short of amazing!
She's a true people person through and through, hearing her laughter and banter with every single person who walks through our doors, making sure they feel welcome and comfortable, from grabbing blankets for the elderly to rocking a crying baby so their parents can enjoy their meals. She unashamedly sings happy birthday to everyone who comes in celebrating their day with us - a rare quality these days!
Shaz you make us all smile everyday! 😁

Happy birthday celebration week Shaz you're an absolute star! We miss you and can't wait to have you home again next week! 🙌 (it's so quiet without you!!)

*Sorry the photo isn't the best quality I had to sneak it or else I would have been growled at!

Its looking like a great night for a roast buffet!

Also wanted to let you know our roast buffet evenings will be coming to an end sooooon!
I think I've managed to convince Matt to keep it going until the end of August (being the end of winter n all) but we shall see......so if you havent made it out yet or have been meaning to come back for another one - best you do it soon!

Matt has also just finished making chicken and corn chowder - I can confirm it is delicious! 😋

See you here soon!!
