Hi all, Just a friendly reminder that we are a SEN friendly restaurant. As a lot of you already know, the new owners have an autistic child themselves and they completely understand how hard it can be to dine out as a family. If you have children or adults with SEN or any disability, and they have their “safe foods” please feel free to bring those safe foods with you! We will pop it onto a plate for you and that way you can all enjoy a family meal together!! Or if we could assist you in any other way to make your visit more comfortable then please just let us know. All of our staff are wonderful and patient, nothing is too much. ❤️
