We had a lovely afternoon with the girls. The bartender was fantastic – friendly, attentive, and incredibly efficient. There were eight of us ordering cocktails, and he prepared them all impressively quickly while still looking after other customers. We also ordered grazing boards, which were delicious and beautifully presented. If I were being picky, it would have been nice to have a few more board options and price points to choose from, but we all thoroughly enjoyed what we had. The atmosphere was relaxed and welcoming, with a talented singer performing in the corner, which added perfectly to the chilled vibe. Overall, we had a wonderful experience and would happily return. A great venue for a catch-up with friends, good food, and excellent service. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
