Simon has skate stew and I have steak with garlic sauce and hand cooked crisps. We also have a bottle of local Costa decVincentino Syrah which is particularly delicious.

There is no menu they just bring you the set meal of the day and there is lots of it! A variety of starters including olives, salami, salad, mushrooms in garlic, chicken and pork bits and ch...
