Reflecting on the opening, co-owner Hannah Petrouis thanked people for their support for the new venue.

She said: "We're really pleased with how the opening weeks have gone so far, the community has been so supportive and welcoming of the unique concept we're offering here, which is all we could ask for.

"We've got some exciting guest selectors coming up over the next few months and we're looking forward to extending our opening hours to lunchtime in August."

The restaurant is only open from Wednesday to Sunday, but private hire is available on Mondays and Tuesdays.

Opening hours are from 5pm until 11pm, with the kitchen closing at 9.30pm.
