    As a group of 5 we are here for my vegan sons birthday. Since he became vegan very tricky finding somewhere nice to eat, and not pan Asian food. The rest of us are big meat eaters. Beautiful venue, perfect music levels, beautiful decor and light. Son was blown away by the food, it was certainly very good, although we had to have the festive menu whereas I would have preferred normal menu especially for first visit so couldnt try the “steak” . A tad expensive but then it was a birthday dinner so that ok. Well worth a visit as very few good independents in the area.

    We had an area booked for drinks for my cousin’s 50th birthday. They let me bring a huge ballon etc that they set up for our arrival. I don’t live in the area but if I did, I’d definitely drink there, it’s my kind of place! Brilliant music, good atmosphere, enjoyed it. Drinks weren’t overly cheap but they aren’t anywhere are they?! Really good night.
