Came across this lovely Bistro purely by chance. As we were walking by the lane, noticed a sign for the Bistro, just so happened by boyfriend is called Charles...thought this was a good omen!

We visited this little place last week after walking past so many times on the way to our usual place to eat, The black Lion. However after saying we should try it for so long we decided to give it a go. I booked a table, and frankly, there was no need to as we were the only ones it... More

It's down a little alley, give... More

Just to say after a previous review this resturant is definatley still open, we are booking in for Sunday Lunch. We have had Sunday lunch there many a time and it has always been Lovely!

We came across the restaurant looking for lunch but it was closed due to the retirement of the owner!
