    Have been wanting to try this place for ages and it did not disappoint. We had the Valentine’s Day set menu and it was all delicious, the service was amazing and the wine/fizz was divine. It’s such a lovely independent spot and I’d highly recommend visiting!

    Very good food albeit waitress staff needs some training .. gin and tonic was served in a small glass no slim line no lemon cucumber so detracts from a g&t .. just gin in the end with ice no room for anything else but I would say still a positive trip
