If you looking for an excellent peri peri chicken or prawns this is the place . Succulent and flavoursome . One of our guests ordered a second portion of boneless peri peri chicken it so good . Lovely staff too . Was a mid week lunch .
A favorite for a reason. The Espatada is somehow the best use of three of the most simple ingredients I’ve tasted!!! The staff and service are both top class!
