Real Talk
What to actually expect.
Spend honestly
The tasting menu runs around £39 a head and garden mains £12 to £14. Reviewers flag the cost as high relative to portion size, especially in the garden.
Best in warm months
The terrace and garden are the main draw. Below-decks dinner is the premium offering and needs booking well ahead.
