As the menu moves with what is available let alone the season some of this will clearly not be same if you decide to find out just how talented the chef is. The Jerusalem artichokes were incredible and the short rib main so cleverly flavoured...More

Being told by friends to visit this small contemporary restaurant we were extremely excited, especially by the menu online, sadly it had changed, due to quieter months, which we totally understand, we were told they update on insta more often than the online platform, this...More

Didn’t like the presentation of the food, expensive for portion sizes and set menu changing daily doesn’t work when a large deposit is taken at booking and not refundable within 24hrs. Food quality was good albeit scare.

Incredible food service a little slow but it was peak season. Also We were lucky to get in as we booked it last minute and got a cancellation. If we ever return to bude we will definitely be booking here well in advance !!

Not for us at all. Felt a little like a cafe rather than a restaurant. Starter was ok (though one of the 3 dishes we did not like at all). Main was average. Not as tasty as the two meals we had on the previous...More

We return to this delightful venue over the Bude jazz festival. A short menu, a sure guarantee for absolutely delicious food. A roof terrace now for views and a nibbles menu from 5pm. More expensive options in the main restaurant. Outstanding. 🇬🇧🇳🇿

Very good food but limited menu. Having said that I much prefer a smaller menu with excellent food which this was. It was London prices but a good standard. It felt more like a cafe than a restaurant - no table cloths & paper napkins...More

Great little find. Good, well cooked food, good service and at a good price. Loved the concept of just choosing the main. The veggie starters were lovely, especially the beetroot dish.

Enjoyed one of the best meals I've ever eaten, with heaps of interesting choices for vegan/veggie. Wonderful taste experience, with friendly and efficient service. I wish you would open one in Cambridge!

Fantastic meal and great setting. Nice staff. A bit expensive, but if you have the money, spend it here! There is not much on the menu but all the food on there is good.
