  • Steak

    Our Steaks were absolutely impeccable. Flavourful and bursting with juices. Easily the best steak we've had in a while.

  • Prawn Tagliatelle

    They also do a truly excellent prawn tagliatelle that’s hearty and well flavoured with plenty of garlic and breadcrumbs, but not too rich.
