   Chose here for a catch up with a friend! The food was exceptional, decent portions sizes and so much to offer for a gluten free diet. Very impressed with here and will definitely be returning.

   I wasn’t keen on the filling inside the halloumi Yorkshire wrap and the bottom of the wrap was overcooked. It was an expensive £20 meal for potatoes, veg and gravy. There were only 3 tables occupied and our food took ages to come, not sure how the restaurant would cope if it was at capacity.

   An interesting menu and use of produce, the range includes vegetarian, fish, duck, chicken, venison, beef ........ a very large selection of drinks hot, cold, soft drink, beer and cocktails, cocktails and cocktails. Fortunately they offer options for selection of small plates, which helps when you can not decide!! They have a dessert menu ... but we were to full to try. The quality of the produce used by the chef, is clear to see and taste when you good portions of flavour food are presented to you. The staff are friendly, helpful and attentative. I use a wheelchair, which advised when booking ... so were offered a suitable table, entry doors are wide and step free. Need to go back ... as so much tempting food and cocktails to try!!

   The food was excellent, we went thru 3 different bottles of red wine because we ordered the last bottle of each chosen wine, they did give us a small discount against the 3rd bottle.

   My wife and I have dined here a couple of times now, the food and ambience have always been great! Really nice atmosphere with a relaxing forest design to the actual restaurant itself. Also has a great selection of Vegan options. The only down side was the service staff. Whilst always polite with with us, I feel they could have been more attentive to customers. We had empty plates for over 30 mins at a time between courses without any servers even looking our way or checking in on our table. I had noticed other customers getting frustrated with this too as the servers could be hard to get hold of when always on the move without stopping at tables or gathered in groups talking with each other. One of the customers had to get up and approach a group of servers just to ask for the bill as they had been waiting for so long with no-one checking in on them. Otherwise, it was a lovely night. Just wish the staff was little more attentive.

   Valentines menu was fantastic, well presented food and tasted great. The light changing for service was a great feature and once changed was attended to straight away. Only thing I’d change would be the music it didn’t quite fit the aesthetic of the place

   Awful service took over hour and half and when it arrived it was our mains and not starters. Then had some brilliant starters (finally) of chicken wings. Sadly, the mains had clearly just been on the heating plate and the medium rare steak was extremely over cooked. We received a free drink and 10% off but was not worth the £70 for the 2 of us on Valentines Day.

   Was so looking forward to returning as had a great experience in the past downstairs ! Unfortunately we were sat upstairs - no atmosphere empty apart from one other couple when we arrived , no music , hardly any decor compared to downstairs it just felt like a different restaurant. Service was so slow , mains came out 2hours after we had arrived. Guests were given other people’s food. People were requesting to move and complaining all around us. It was Valentine’s Day guys … a special evening that was ruined by kitchen issues and a lack of experienced staff . Wont be coming back sadly.
