If you get an ingredient as beautiful as this day boat LOCAL blue fin tuna, you don't muck about with it. Seasoned & seared fast in the hottest pan. A good potato & dill pickle salad, some charred greens & dollop of aioli. Finished with virgin rapeseed oil & lemon. Hit the specials last night & sold out. Bosh!!

Simple & fresh wins every time. Thanks to our fish guys for supplying the best.

Stephen Barrett. He has been more than welcoming to us since the first day we opened and you popped in with a bottle of wine to tell us your stories of where it all began for you. The fig tree you planted will hold an even more special place in our hearts now. It was only a couple weeks ago we were sat under the tree together, drinking coffee whilst sharing bread talking about future events to be held at the fig. Remembering the many hours we have spent talking about your travels, life experiences you gained along the way. Advice personal & business. The many wine events we had where you’d bring the community together. We shall hold a glass of wine in your memory Stephen. May you rest in peace. Taken too soon. 💔
