Current owners have been here 11 years and created a very successful high profile relaxed fine dining business. A very strong local custom and the high number of visitors ensure the restaurant is always busy. The restaurant is open all year, 5 evenings and Sunday lunch, so has huge potential to open for longer hours such as opening lunch times. There is also scope to open upstairs for dining or to offer accommodation, as both floors can be self contained.
