Nice location by the river. Plenty of outdoor seating most of which has some form of cover such as umbrellas. It was mildly busy but the service was efficient. Covid measures were comprehensive including the laminated menus being cleaned ...Thank you

I recommend stopping here for refreshments before and after visiting the castle. If you visit twice, you can observe the changes of the tide on the waterway which I found interesting. The staff were kind as well!Thank you it was lovely meeting you
