Our story

A family kitchen, thirty years on

We opened with six tables, one oven and a menu written on a chalkboard each morning.

Most of it still works that way. We buy from the same growers, bake before the sun is up, and cook the things we would want to eat ourselves.

What our customers say

“The short rib is the best thing I've eaten this year, and I say that having eaten a lot of short rib.”

Daniel R. · Regular

“We turned up at eight on a Friday with no booking and they found us a table anyway.”

Aisha K. · First visit

“Took my parents for their anniversary. The kitchen sent out a dessert we hadn't ordered.”

Tom W. · Customer since 2021

Frequently asked questions

Do you take bookings?

Yes, up to four weeks ahead, and we hold roughly half the room for walk-ins every service.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

Tell us when you book and the kitchen will plan for it. There's always a vegetarian main, and most dishes can be made gluten-free.

Do you have a set menu for groups?

For six or more, yes — three courses chosen from the day's menu. Ask when you book.

Is there parking?

Street parking after six, and the municipal lot on the next block is free in the evenings.

Hungry?

Book a table or drop by — we'd love to have you.
