Unique tapas-style menu that changes each season.

Definitely going back in summer to try the tasting menu with wine and beer pairing.

Great little place, not too far to travel. It's great to sit outside at the big table with some nibbles and a glass of wine. Will be back to try the lunch menu.

A great place to spend a lazy day with friends - Jo and Ganesh are true hospitality professionals and ensure every detail and whim are attended to in a very professional manner - well done!

Amazing menu! Somethings required you to be little adventurous but I think that was half the fun. Great wine list. Well worth the drive. 

Very interesting menu, fabulous staff, great wines, and a fabulous night with the girls! Well worth it if you're in the area.

Wow, went here with a large group of friends and we enjoyed many many tasting plates. From the standard Olives and Almonds through to the adventurous Lambs Brains! The dessert was outstanding, salted caramel creme brulee with ginger hokey pokey and proscuitto.... oh my. I never knew how good meat and sweet could be!

We recently went here for a hens do lunch. I loved that you can book their shuttle van which comes into the city at a certain time and will also drop you back into the city. The food here was really fantastic and the atmosphere is breathtaking 

We had our anniversary there at the end of 2012. They gave us a lovely table overlooking the lawn & free champagne to start, and the waitress was very helpful with recommendations. The menu is arranged on axes, so you can select for tastes. Even if the items are new to your palate (like pig's head), you get a sense of how it will taste. There were so many nice little fancy touches & yet it's also very much a family place: the little daughter of the owners was eating dinner there as well, then played with a dog on the lawn outside. Just charming.

Good wine collection
