I decided to drop in here for I was craving a Guinness. Was not hungry, but decided on a snack and ordered the scotch egg. I was pleasantly surprised by a generous wrapping of sausage around a perfectly executed soft boiled egg with a delicious grainy mustard accompaniment, and I see on the menu that They have a special lamb shank dinner, which I will definitely come back for.
