We went for the Irish taster menu and were not disappointed! The oysters and wild garlic mash were particular highlights. It's very small so recommend 2 as perfect or 4 as max (we went as 4). Drinks are served but it's also BYO at £10 corkage per bottle. Service is pretty good and efficient and would definitely go back to try the next chef of the month.

A delightful little gem. Small, so book ahead. Minimalist menu of tapas style, small plates. The whole menu is good to share for two people. The sour potato flatbread with nduja (nice and spicy) and cultured cream is really tasty. Accompanied by a variety of spiced cellar salami and pickled figs. Great combination. I must say the charred broccoli was a bit acrid, slightly too charred, but the pumpkin praline was decent. The next dish was Galician octopus, Romesco, farm beans and pine nuts, which was delicious! Amazingly balanced combination, one of the stand out dishes. Next was gnudi (like gnocchi but with ricotta instead of potato), roasted cauliflower and Parmesan. Again, really delicious. Perhaps too much lemon zest which unbalanced the dish a little. Made it slightly dessert-ish. But still a nice plate and my wife liked it so maybe just a personal taste. The final plate was the venison burger, the “Bambi Big Mac”. Very, very nice! Two sliders, juicy, tender, crisp and sharp pickles. Lovely stuff. We had the pecan tart for dessert and wow, it was class. The wine (Syrah) was nice but the only reasonably priced bottle. Considering the reasonably price of the food the wines seem disproportionately priced. Great service. Overall a really good experience. Highly recommended.

Very nice, cosy little restaurant, with an original menu using fresh products, a mix of vegetables, fish and meat. It only have space for 14 seats so I'd recommend booking in advance. You can sit just in front of the chef, which makes the experience special, as you get to see all your meals being prepared. We went for the full menu, which is a great option to try everything, for only £35.
