Very nice food and equally nice cocktails recommend it. There is a 5 course taster option but I did the three course one and think it was better as you could pick your dishes and cocktails.

What an amazing service. We were collected by a mini bus & taken to a central meeting point. Tomasz then took us for the day. He was so helpful & friendly, we knew exactly where we needed to be & when & had plenty of free time for refreshments. We will be recommending Mr Shuttle to everyone & will definitely be back to explore more with you. The amount of great places we were able to visit & how well organised it was, we were so happy with everything. Great value for money too. Thank you all so much.
