The sirloin steak (£13.95) was cooked perfectly and came with tasty crisp green beans and chips. The couple next door looked on mockingly as the chips arrived, but soon realised they were included in the dish. They quickly scoured the menu to see if chips accompanied the mussels they had chosen. They were, so the couple stopped analysing our table, realising that in Belgium chips mustn't be a restaurant faux par.
My smoked haddock (£11.95) was served with creamy but firm mashed potato and a Gruyere cheese sauce that was not too rich. The fish was also wrapped in a sheet of Gruyere cheese that stopped the dish being too sloppy and added texture. The dish as a whole was really flavoursome and was put together well.
A bottle of Chardonnay (£13.95) complemented our main meal, which was smooth and light.
Neither of us could manage a pudding as the portions were very generous. The food by nature was also very rich so we could not have faced anything sweet. However, I felt the choice of desserts was a little limited, especially compared with the rest of the menu.
We slouched around for a while on the comfy seats, finishing our wine and then felt ready to move on for another drink, something I did not expect to be able to do after eating so much cheese. Not only did this restaurant serve us great food but it also was the perfect way to start a night out.
Menu: Meal deals, beat the clock 6-7pm, the time you arrive is the price you pay. Two-course lunch £6.95. Evening, flame roasted rotisserie chicken £9.95; whole lobster £19.95.
Best part: the combination comfortable surroundings with good quality, fresh food.
Worst part: Limited sweet menu.
Best for: In essence this restaurant is perfect for most people. The menu is balanced well between adventurous, unusual meals and simple, universal favourites.

We spent a delightful two hours in this place. Friendly staff relaxed atmosphere. The meals were simple, yet tasted so good. A glass of Leffe blonde to wash it all down! Sweet menu? Not sure if it's limited or not - as soon as I saw Cartmel Village Shop sticky toffee pudding, nothing else got a look-in! Worth going back, for sure.
