In the evening, the bistro serves high quality, rustic French cuisine. Bring your own bottle with no corkage. Highly commendable and will definitely go again.

It isn't licensed and you don't have to pay corkage on the alcohol you take. Good food, quite large portions, good service. It isn't cheap - we paid c50 p.p. ( we had steak )

Quirky bistro serving a variety of delicious meals. Good ambiance and fabulous owner with a great sense of humour. Only minor downside is they have no alcohol licence, but you can bring your own wine, which they will serve for you without corkage charges. Recommended
