This is one for the locals. For drop-in drop-out coffee in the morning. For a seat on the grass with a grazing board and a firepit. For Sunday roasts and lamb shoulders to share. For an antidote to so many visits to big-ticket winery restaurants. But this isn’t a case of Jimmy of all trades, master of none. Just look at the finesse in that house-crafted pork and pistachio terrine. The golden crumb of the fillet in the fish roll. Scotch eggs and Manhattans are given the same level of attention, whether you’re sat at the bar or in the dining room, and a fairly priced children’s menu means it’s fun for the whole family.
