The Snail boasts an excellent kitchen. Food is generally European in style, all freshly cooked on site with fish featuring heavily. There is a blackboard with daily specials, an a la carte menu available both lunch and evening and a tantalising choice of homemade desserts.
Dishes are regularly changed to give freshness to the menu, but here are the current offerings at The Snail.
We have launched our Spring Set Menu, 2 courses for £11.95 or 3 Courses for £13.95
