About The Grumpy Chef

Fresh cooking to order means a bit of a wait, so bring something to occupy small hands — but it's worth it. Portions land generously enough that three starters fed two adults comfortably, and the kitchen turns out sausages, steak cooked properly to order, crab linguine and a baked camembert people talk about long afterwards. The crème brûlée is worth saving room for. It's a smallish room, but it doesn't feel cramped — more a friendly hum than a din — with outdoor tables for warmer days, buggy access, high chairs and a kids' menu. Staff are consistently warm and attentive, and there's free parking. It fills up, so book for dinner. One well-loved detail: an open view into a kitchen that regulars note is kept spotless.
