A real gem of a property with bucketloads of history, this restaurant's premises has had former lives as a stone chapel and, as the name suggests, a printworks for a local paper. Today the lovingly restored building has a fresh, modern feel and is the setting for seasonally influenced small plates that sometimes feature meat from the owners' family farm. Be sure to choose the cod when available, especially if served with the fabulous romesco sauce. Their strapline is ‘Drink, Dine, Unwind’ and you can easily do all three without breaking the bank.
