"Just had the best steak ever! So tender it melted like butter in the mouth. Partners pork dish was also just as good. Great service and a lively atmosphere! Absolutely recommend!"
Kim Owen
"The restaurant is very lively, with the bar in the front, there were a few tables at the back that’s for pilgrims. There were complimentary beef tongue to start, the plate of meat and sausages was really good, lots of flavours and goes well with the Rioja red wine.
Would love to try the full size beef steak next time!"
