This is the sister restaurant of The Dairy and has excellent food, fantastic wines and a nice selection of craft beers. It's a place for a special occasion, they serve "English tapas" you will order a selection of 2-3 dishes per person (or even better go for the tasting menu!) and share everything (or not!) - either way, every dish is hand crafted and made from the best ingredients - if you want something different, this is the place. Best to book in advance!
