With its laidback atmosphere, friendly staff and amazing food, you'd think that would be enough, but why don't we add a non-intrusive, live jazz band, for mellow background music. Great chill out!

It’s relaxed bistro food made with simple, robust flavours and a nod towards seasonality. Puddings are homemade and generously portioned. This a good choice before visiting the Playhouse.
