Tapas-style Italian is a genuinely useful format when you're feeding children — small plates mean everyone tastes something, and fussier eaters can pick. Portions are modest and the bill stays sensible: one family got twelve dishes between four adults, plus a toddler's meal and drinks, for just over £70. The pesto pasta, vegetarian meatballs in tomato sauce and mushroom flatbread all draw praise, and there's a kids' menu, high chairs and buggy access. Service tends to be quick — drinks ordered promptly, food out fast, which helps when patience is thin. Outside seating is screened by trees, and there's free parking right out front, so unloading a pram is easy. Worth knowing: the road beyond the trees is busy, the building looks a little tired in places, and with such a long menu the cooking can be uneven.
