A true gem in the town. A family run establishment for generations, that hasn't lost its charm. The same friendly staff, the same cosy decor and the same delicious comfort food, which brought back great memories. Excellent value for money and generous portions. Highly recommend you try it out if you're in the area! Special thanks to Sarah and Lauren for their fantastic service!
