Libby and Sarah have carefully thought out the menu and will once again be cooking delicious food and feeding you.

Using fresh seasonal and wherever possible locally sourced quality food to serve you a delicious menu that we hope will have you coming back again and again. Libby and daughter Sarah are the cooks, with Bob as the gopher; well we had to give him something to do!
