The restaurant combines excellent service with top quality dishes. The menu changes regularly in order to accommodate seasonal varieties. Enjoy our Giant tiger prawns, home smoked duck breast and our speciality pasta dish, lobster linquine.

The relaxed atmosphere will ensure you return to the restaurant time and time again. The wine list is extensive but we can also offer draught beers and our own unique cocktail selection.
