"Christmas Dinner. The food was amazing, the owners are brilliant, front of house, fantastic welcoming, Kim makes you feel so comfortable. There is no rushing of courses, take your time and enjoy the food. The food deserves your undevided attention because it is cooked to perfection, even my very fussy husbands steak was perfect. The rest of our party opted for the traditional Christmas Dinner, moist turkey and beef that melted in your mouth. Fabulous veg selection and both turkey and beef gravy. The starters and sweets were to die for. Can't wait to return. 5 stars are not enough! Would like to award more definitely 5* +++++"

"Small place in the Old Town of Bridlington. Good selection on menu. We arrived at 7pm so had a choice from either the early bird menu, or the a la carter. Both good. Food very well presented and cooked to perfection. The house red wine was surprisingly palatable.
A very relaxing atmosphere, no rush between courses."
