Food Scene

We love Steam Bistro, it’s top class in a nice dining room and a must for any occasion if you enjoy great food cooked to a very high standard, must book in advance though The Greenhouse keeper, they do terrific home made soups with specialty breads and serve the best breakfast in town at a very good price
Excellent food, take your own wine. Open Friday and Saturday night and Sunday lunchtime from February 2022.
