Just wanted to give a reply to Tim in my defence - The comments on the menu aren't meant to be smug, just quite humorous and an indication of the fact that unlike large chains we are able to inject our own real thoughts and comments into our menu (appealing to many, but not all I agree). Coincidence that you should think the place is like someone's home as when we finished building the place most of our furniture and pictures from home went into the restaurant as our bank pulled out on us at the last minute. Feeling homely was accidental, but has worked for the last 14 years. Finally show me somewhere that's serving their own beasts, butchered by them, with the knowledge of all the food on the plate and we'll not promote the issue so much!
