Club night this Friday, 28th August, boasts some great blackboard specials!
How about starting with a creamy tomato soup with a homemade mini loaf, or if mussels are more your thing, then the fritters should hit the spot!
Lamb shanks are back by popular demand and if you haven't tried our fish and chips on our weekly menu, then you have simply missed out. Just saying 😄
But wait, there is always more - the creme brulee is crazy good and everybody's favourite, tiramisu, with mocha and white chocolate.
Feast your eyes on the specials below and don't forget to check out our weekly menu.
Go on, you know you want to - not cook Friday night, that is - text 027 257 1273 and reserve your table. Open from 4pm.
Great views, a warm welcome and plenty of parking. See you tomorrow night!
