My friends & I visited here on 18/5/23 for the first time & were impressed with the fantastic & friendly service we received from Jane. The food was beautiful & freshly cooked by André, I believe (not sure of spelling). The prices were very reasonable. Jane explained they don't open every day as there isn't the call for it - they are open Thurs to Sunday & on Bank Holidays. We will definitely be returning 👍🏻

Called in on the off chance it would still be open (last visit well before COVID). Absolutely delighted it was open still with Jane and Andre Burnley at the realm. Had the scallops which were succulent and beautifully cooked just how I had remembered them. Had a lovely chat with Jane and Andre which was very special to me. I had made a detour from Monmouth on my way home to Derbyshire doing a journey I had made with my late husband whom Jane had remembered, quite amazing since we had only been there twice before. I hope that I have the opportunity to eat there again.
