“ Fantastic and reasonably priced food, superb service. Located in a calm spot near the Laxey tram stop in the middle of beautiful nature. Really loved it! ”
“ I live in and I got married in 2022 in Australia, some of my elderly family on the island weren’t able to make it due to the long distance. I was visiting the island in 2024 and we really wanted to surprise my family with me in my dress! This beautiful venue excepted us into their space with such open arms and held a beautiful lunch for my family and I so we could celebrate my marriage in my dress. They were so accommodating, the food was incredible and the staff were so lovely! Beautiful people. I highly recommend this beautiful venue & restaurant ”
“ We'd just left the Laxey wheel and found this delightful place for lunch. The staff were incredibly friendly. Food was superb but then it was prepared by a recent Masterchef semi finalist by the name of Pippa Lovell (she's the one in the photos). Tasty food and wonderfully fresh and all locally sourced. This is also a venue for functions if you have a happy event to plan. Beautiful setting. ”

“ It's July 2025, and it's our first time here for a little while. It looks like a new team is involved and they are doing a great job. Very welcoming, professional and attentive staff who provided great service and the food was amazing. A nice new and varied menu, from salads and light bites to breakfasts and fish and chips. There's a good specials board with a few options, plenty that tempted everyone in our party. This place is a unique gem being nestled in the middle of laxey glen, I hope they do well, they deserve support given how hard they're working for a great experience. ”
