Highly photogenic in its old half-timbered thatched cottage, Hansens has tables that spill out into front and rear gardens for sunny alfresco lunches, perhaps Danish beef and capers, fishcakes or caesar salad. Evening menus kick off with imaginative starters that often include Asian elements before Euro-Danish main courses like veal fricassee in red wine sauce.
The little bar is redolent of an old English country pub.
