Polite Notice ‼️

We’d like to let our lovely customers know that our restaurant will be closed from Monday 21st September and will reopen on Friday 2nd October.

With our chef heading off on a well-earned holiday, we thought it would be the perfect opportunity to give the restaurant a little refresh while she’s away — including a mini refurb in the kitchen.

We’re looking forward to welcoming you all back on Friday 2nd October, refreshed and ready to go!

Thank you so much for your understanding and continued support. We can’t wait to see you when we reopen!
