    Food rarely disappoints but pricing is too high these days. Set lunch two courses is £40 but main course portion size is for a child so one eats copious amounts of bread and butter to compensate. Cannot fault the food quality but menu should be £32 for two course as there is an additional 12.5% to be added. Pricing needs an overhaul and cheese is an additional £8 which makes a two course lunch over £53 including service without any drinks. Very dear these days.

    We were warmly welcomed at the door and shown to a table for two. The waiting staff were very pleasant and helpful. The menu presented to us was very explicit and it did not require any further elaboration. There was a good range of : meat, fish, and plant- based dishes The quality of all the dishes we chose was excellent. Sauces were suitablely reduced and full of flavour. Meat was tender , but not presented too rare as sometimes happens. The desserts were beautiful , and interesting ingredients such as lavender and ginger were used. The only minus was the music.

    We went for the classic menu option inspired by TFT dishes over the last 2 decades. We also opted for the wine paring which was £20 each. The food was absolutely delicious, beautifully served and was amazing value for money. It was a fantastic evening and makes me realise we should eat out at TFT more often.
