What an amazing restaurant. Serving 5* food right on our door step in Prestwich. Sam the owner was very accommodating as we only eat white fish and vegetarian options and he sorted it out so we could have cod. The place is small but cosy. Only 26 covers. The place was full but there was a great cosy atmosphere. It was buzzing. The service was excellent. It wasn't cheap but we were there celebrating our friends birthday. It is worth the cost. We would really love to return in the future.

I really like this place. It’s very welcoming and the staff are both friendly and attentive. Today was our first visit for Sunday Lunch and the Restaurants second week serving the aforementioned. Our starters of Gin Cured Salmon and Pressed Mallard were excellent in presentation and taste..couldn’t fault. We both had Roast Beef which on the whole was disappointing……Beef was tough and chewy, roast potatoes were tasteless and dry…….vegetables were all good and cooked to perfection. So, had this been the Restaurant’s first day and not just their first day serving Sunday Lunch I wouldn’t be writing this………But it wasn’t and that’s why we were left underwhelmed.
