00:09So Richard, we've just, I've just been in, had a look around, it looks great in there, I mean just, you know,
00:14if you were going to describe it to family and friends who've not been in, how would you describe it, what would you say?
00:19Oh, I think it's got two sides to it, so you've got a relaxed day vibe, where you can come, have some cake,
00:29you can have breakfast, lunch and then the evening you've got, you know, your cocktails, your wine by the bottle,
00:34your, a bit more romantic vibe to it, so yeah, I can say it's got the best of all worlds.
00:39Yeah, well, so daytime and evening opening then, because not everywhere is, so you're going for it like.
00:44Yeah, we are, breakfast, lunch and dinner, so all day, yeah, all day, so you've got, yeah, a choice of various options.
00:52So if you were coming in and picking something off the menu, any particular favourite dish yourself to look out for?
