    One of the best meals my boyfriend and I have had together. Food was outstanding, service was fantastic, ambience was nice and cosy. The only point of improvement would be to have more choices of non-alcoholic drinks.

    I had not been for a very long time and I did have a high expectation from previous experiences, I found the atmosphere & service was as I remember & really lovely sadly the food was not as I’d hoped. The complimentary consome and freshly baked bread was amazing!! but all other food was not great. I had scotch egg starter and Christmas special of turkey wellington both lacked any taste or flavour & at the Christmas special was almost inedible seeming to be undercooked maybe frozen ? All textures very mushy and raw? The meat was all undercooked and sadly not at all pleasant, I didn’t complain as did not want to upset the evening but felt that food was maybe frozen & reheated ? Hopefully just a one off but overall very expensive for not great food .

    Superb food. Even the cocktail was a wonder (an Old Fashioned washed with bacon fat). Lovely staff. I'd be delighted to visit again.

    We hadn’t been to this restaurant for a couple of yeas so had not experienced it under new ownership. We booked online and added the note asking if it was for a special occasion. It was and for my wife’s birthday, what an experience. As we entered the restaurant and confirmed our name, my wife was immediately greeted with a happy birthday and it went on, wow customer service 150%. The food was a picture, and the flavors exceeded our expectations. This is a high-quality restaurant with a bar, not a pub that serves food to the masses. First class and thank you to those who work front and back of house and made our night memorable.
