One Penny Red is a gorgeous, more upmarket local restaurant with delicious food and great service. Downstairs is the restaurant and upstairs is a great bar. I recommend sharing the slow cooked lamb shoulder or the roasted chicken and the crispy spiced salt potatoes on the side are delicious. They also have lots of great wines here with an organic/biodynamic focus.
