Amazing pizzas at the weekend, take away or to sit in the yard (heaters for cooler nights) with beer from brewery or wine from wine snug. Also recommend the sharing plates from the Wine Snug, really tasty especially when followed by the unbelievably yummy cheesecake. Just a really chilled place with every one of the small businesses complimenting each other.
