The bruschetta is just bread with a sickly sweet tomato sauce and cheese. The hummos platter came with three types of bread and dips. We had two slices of white, black olive and garlic focaccia. The later was delicious. The dips were hummos, a black olive tapenade, and the same sickly sweet tomato sauce that is on the bruschetta. The tapenade was pretty much black olives. Nothing to expand on. The hummos had a really great flavor. I would have ordered the bowl of hummos & side of bread instead of the platter.

What a lovely little gem! We stumbled in here, rain-sodden and gasping, just before lunch time, and…read morethe lovely lady who worked here quickly set about making us feel comfortable. We only ordered hot drinks and scones with jam, cream and butter, but it was all lovely, delicious, and although perhaps not budget food I didn't feel ripped off at all with the quality of what was on offer. I will say, though, that the group as a whole agreed that the cream, although okay, should have been clotted or whipped double cream, instead of nasty whipped stuff. That's the kind of quality I expect when I pay a little extra.

After that My wife had stuffed pork loin and I sampled the 20oz Lamb Henry both of which tasted sublime, really the portion of lamb was too big for me but I couldn't not eat it. Even found room for a sweet and more cocktails, I have to say that the quality of the food was very very good as was the service. After a 3 course meal with drinks we were charged £50. I have to say that I thought it was well worth it.

Top food, top service!…read more I have eaten here three times, twice on my honeymoon and once with a group on a walking holiday and each time was excellent! The first time was wonderful, very intimate, excellent food and great service. The second time we had drinks and nibbles. I could not recommend this highly enough! We drank our way through the increasing strengths of Chiminy whilst eating olives, caper berries and dippy things whilst soaking in the atmosphere. The final time was with family and friends on August bank holiday, again the food was stunning but the service was slow. we waited 40 mins to get the bill even though they wanted our table for another group. Still 5 star but confusing service on busy periods.

Mains were just OK, and I had the Boscaiola (courgettes and mushrooms in a creamy tomato sauce) and my family had the Pescatore (salmon and prawns). Nothing fantastic, but definitely Italian. The toffee sponge pudding was rich and moist, just how I liked it, but the ice cream on top was a bit rubbish. Service was efficient and polite enough, although you could tell that some of the waitresses wanted to get their shifts over and done with soon enough! Looking at restaurants nearby, this was definitely not our first choice (there were more exciting options to eat in), but at £8.95 a main, this was marginally cheaper than the surrounding eateries. Good for a quick eat, but won't blow you away.

Its worth noting that the menu is not the most extensive but there were plenty of options for me. A warm welcome greeted me as I was shown to my table. I went with the melon starter and pasta ragu main. Both were excellent and good portion sizes too especially as both courses were only costing me £10. All round a good experiance and I would certainly eat here again.

All the others enjoyed their dishes as well, including chicken tikka pizza, barbecue pizza, and meat fest pizza. The starter of chicken wings was very flavourful. Desserts like tiramisu were great too, although my cappuccino was sub-average. Ambience was cosy and casual. A standard family restaurant kind of place. Service was generally good, with all dishes served promptly and staff reasonably friendly. Place got quite busy towards the end of our meal, so take into account for your planning

However, when the mains arrived it was a different matter as my fillet steak, ordered medium rare and with a Diane sauce to the side turned out looking like it was stewed and was utterly awful. I returned the dish to the kitchen and it took until my wife had completely finished her main course for the kitchen to produce my replacement which was nearly as awful as the first. The chef here cannot cook a fillet steak. Very disappointing. Having lost the will to complain further we moved to desserts which were actually quite nice. Service was prompt and pleasant, but a lot was missing from the food - mussels were "off" that evening for example so I could not have the starter I wanted. Looking around the place it seemed nice and clean, that is until the massive cobwebs hanging down from the rafters were noticed. Overall quite a let down considering the £17 price tag of the fillet, come on people, teach your chef how to cook, rather than murder your steaks, and get rid of those cobwebs!
