Our story

We opened with six tables, one oven and a menu written on a chalkboard each morning. Most of that still holds: the board is now a printed page, but it still changes with what arrived at the market.

The kitchen is open to the room on purpose. You can see the fish go on the pass and the pizza come out of the oven, and the cooks can see whether you liked it.

What our customers say

“The short rib is the best thing I have eaten this year, and I say that having had it four times.”
Daniel R. · Regular
“We turned up at eight on a Friday with no booking and they found us a table at the bar. Dinner was lovely.”
Aisha K. · First visit
“Took my parents for their anniversary. The private room was quiet and the staff never rushed us.”
Tom W. · Customer since 2019

Frequently asked questions

Do you take bookings?

Yes, for any size. Half the room stays open for walk-ins, so a Tuesday without a booking is usually fine; a Saturday is not.

Can you cater for dietary requirements?

The menu marks vegetarian and gluten-free dishes, and the kitchen can adapt most plates with a day's notice.

Do you host private events?

The private room seats 14 at one long table, with a set menu from $65 a head. Ask us for the current one.

Is there parking?

Street parking on Harbour Street after 6 pm, and the municipal lot on Church Street is a two-minute walk.
