This is the ground floor restaurant to The Summerhouse. Two reasons I wanted to go. It's the ground floor and it is a short bus journey from home.This former pub has now been redone as an American style diner with a cinema theme. The open kitchen has a screen above like the outdoor of a cinema with a bar on the opposite end and some sofas in one of the corners for a relaxing coffee or alcoholic beverage.
I went on a Saturday and found it not too busy with a local crowd. I suspect not too many people would make their way to this part of the King's road for a burger.
My friend and I shared starters. We had the popcorn shrimp (4.95) and artichoke and spinach dip (£5.50). Both substantial starters and perfectly executed. I continued with the soft shell crab po-boy (£11). The crab was very good, perfectly crispy although the ciabatta was stale.

What did stand out was the service which was excellent. Our waitress always ensured, very discretely, that our wine glasses were topped up.
