My favourite restaurant in the area. I love the atmosphere particularly, and their Christmas tree is better than Trafalgar Square’s! We all had the winter set menu. Pork pate, beef and pheasant pie, and a delicious rice pudding crème brûlée! We’ll be back next year when there is an occasion to mark.

We really enjoyed High Dive. The food was gorgeous, but I just wished the portion was a bit bigger! We were the only table in there so it was a bit quiet, but that is not the fault of the restaurant. The staff were great and the decor is lovely - I would recommend it and I would love to go back!
