"A really lovely place to eat, beautiful old building with a very friendly atmosphere."
"Set in a beautiful old building, the lay out work's."
Cons:
"Wonky tables and floors... not sure if it’s meant to fit the rustic decor but no one wants dough balls sliding off their plates."
"Parking at rear, although when we visited the car park was full but only 2 other tables were there!"
"Which brings with it accessibility and parking problems."
"The tables were a bit too close together for my liking."
"Tiny car park. 6/7 spaces."
"Parking is minimal, only space for 8 or so cars so don't bank on getting one."
"Only negative is the car park is so small, but there are plenty of other car parks near by."

"Huge variety of gluten-free food available."
"Each and every dish is delicious."
"The penne gorgonzola is to die for 😘"
"The best garlic bread there is here."
Cons:
"The pizza was slightly burnt."
"They forgot a couple of the main courses and the desserts took half an hour to be served."
"No aromatic smells coming fom the kitchen... like garlic etc..the starters we had were not good at."
"The main dish I chose was a further fish dish of Crab & Lobster Ravioli with King Prawns...this turned out to be a bowl of dry, tasteless ravioli, hardly any butter sauce and 4 tiny prawns (certainly not King Prawns)."
"We ordered 6 meals and only received 5."
"The king prawn linguine had a grand total of four prawns in it (sub standard quality ones), the linguine lacked the sauce and the pizza was dry and doughy."
"The chicken Alfredo tagliatelle was a VERY small portion, dry and flavourless."

"Booked a table a week ago to get there and they didn’t have any tables available."
"No drinks after 9pm as staff weren’t getting out the restaurant until midnight!"
"Service was slow. My partner ordered a pork belly and I couldn't believe my eyes!!! There was no MEAT on it at all, just fat."
"Awful service. Booked a table, Waited 30 mins for drinks, another 30 for the starters and another 30 for mains."
"The service was diabolical as a large party our meal was pre booked for 5.30 we had to wait for one and half hours as nothing had been prepared."

"If had paid for all 4 people expensive for quality of food."
