What our visitors are saying…

“A Real Gem!! If you’ve not been there then you’d missing out on something really special!!”

“Boutique local restaurant in a place we love - Lyme Regis - which we’ve been intending to visit for ages and we certainly weren’t disappointed. Evidently there’d recently been a change of both ownership and chef but you’d never have known. Service was excellent from the moment we were greeted at the door and the menu, food and presentation of the meals was just amazing - THANK YOU!! A real credit to both the new owners and established and clearly hugely successful and experienced team!!!”
