I've been coming to this restaurant for 9 years now personally and also recommend it to my guests as it is consistently good. In my business, recommending a good restaurant to my guests is crucial and AJ's never fails to impress. The food is always excellent, fresh and locally sourced. AJ's has been run for the last decade by the... More

I came here in a party of 13. We were greeted warmly on arrival. One of the girls even went out to get me Morgans Spiced Rum as I had asked for it! I ordered king prawns to start and a fillet steak diane. I have to say that both dishes were exceptional. The prawns were tasty and there were... More

Have eaten here several times and the food and service has always been top notch. Reasonable pricing, local food well seasoned and exceptionally tasty, service is warm and friendly without being overbearing and portion sizes are generous too! Would recommend happily to anyone.

Visited AJ's twice in March whilst visiting the local area. On both occasions the food has been lovely. Service very good. If thinking of where to go don't miss this place. Nothing from the outside but the food delivers.

The tables are glass and add a real touch of class. For starters we had the brie covered mushrooms and asparagus tips in ham, both were superb. For mains we... More

The staff were friendly and welcoming and the 'Early Bird' menu presented us with a good selection of starters and main courses to choose from. Our food was nicely presented and very tasty and we took up the option of a reduced price dessert. All in all, this was... More

We went into this restaurant which was virtually empty, and were put on a table in a corner, it is fairly old fashioned, the food was ok but pricey for what we had (both had Sirloin Steak) - Also had a bottle of house wine which was priced averagely, service was lacking for the money we were paying and considering...
