Our Crawley restaurant is on the high street in the centre of the town, and close to the train station. Inside, we’ve created a spacious dining space with mirrors, a muted colour scheme and striking brick walls & chandelier lighting. In the summer, our tables spill out onto the pavement so you can tuck into a plate of pasta whilst enjoying the sunshine.
