I can only confirm the previous recommendation, I have enjoyed the food of Peter (the owner of The ugly Duckling), even before he opened his own restaurant, so I can vouch for his food.Sadly I have now moved from the area and can honestly say that I haven't enjoyed a meal as much as Peter's since I left. I have been back and it only makes me feel I shouldn't have left the area as we used to eat there up to 5 times a week, so really really miss him. I must also just say that the staff are the most friendly you'll find anywhere, always a smile and excellent service. See you soon again Peter.

This restaurant is a little gem. It's not the most glamorous, and maybe lacking in atmosphere, but that is made up for by the quality of the food. Everything is fresh, seasonal, local, beautifully presented and expertly cooked. And the value for money is extraordinary. Unfortunately, I live in London. If the Ugly Duckling were my local, I'd eat there every week! As it is, I've had to make do with four visits over two weekends.
