Birthday lunch was great. Service was very attentive. The vegetarian option on the Prix Fixe was a mushroom cassoulet but it certainly didn’t look like mushrooms although we were assured it was. The vegetarian diner in our party ate everything else in the dish apart from the mushrooms.

Returned for a business lunch and the standard was as high as it had been for dinner. Choices are good and wine / cocktails list is excellent . However the most important feature is the really friendly and efficient of the service and they all deserve great praise. We will be returning
