Nice and quiet great food for me but not so much for my mum who's gluten free. The staff seemed to be really friendly and welcoming and it would be awesome to see it at night when they have a band

We had a lovely meal tonight having popped in without a reservation on the basis of the reviews on Google. We shared the meatballs to start, I had the seafood chowder and my husband the chicken schnitzel. All of them were very tasty, but it would have been nice if they had done something to the gluten free bread, ie turned it into garlic bread rather than serving dry toast. Service was polite and efficient. The decor felt dated and lacked character but I would still recommend.

Great food, even as a gluten free vegetarian they catered very well on a couple of occasions. My partner had ribs and fish and chips and raved about how tasty it was. Beautiful set up, with wooden Canadian style inside with a fireplace and pool table and multiple tvs. Great service each time. Highly recommend.

Stopped off for lunch. Have to say we weren't quite sure what we thought as we were shown into the dinning room as it was a bit higgledy-piggledy. However the owner was very welcoming and when the food arrived it was fantastic. Gluten free wasn't a problem and my husband thought it was one of the best pizzas he's had. Definitely recommend as a lunch stop - a real taste of West Coast hospitality.
