“ Warm and friendly owner and we were lucky to get a comfortable table with a bench decorated with colourful cushions and a rug. Plenty to tempt us from the wine list and we enjoyed our bottle of red very much. A small business owned by someone who cares and has made a very cosy and enjoyable spot to while away a few hours with friends over a decent glass of wine. ”
