Simple, Authentic and Delicious dishes made with excellent produce. Makes you feel like you are on holiday. 

Good, progressive, solid, forward-thinking place. And run by the warmest, most intelligent and inspiring people to be around. Always a humble, fulfilled visit. And whilst in the area, best to visit next door to Hannah Barry's gallery for more wonderful work.
