We turned up early for our 6pm booking (around 5.30) this was no problem. we choose where to sit as the restaurant was empty. Order for drinks was promptly taken. drinks served and orders taken for starter and main. Starters we again served promptly. Jazz music playing at a good level.

Read moreA truly wonderful restaurant — one of those rare places you find yourself wanting to return to again and again.
The food is absolutely delicious, the atmosphere is cozy and inviting, and the staff is incredibly attentive and friendly.

A huge thank you — we’ll definitely be...

There is vegetarian options and the highlight seems to be the daily specials. For Monday it is the pork belly, however one of the best starters is the scallops on a belly of pork so you could well be double pork bellying it. House wins were spot on for me. The things that let it down for me was the home made sauce portions were really small. While I get that the hero of the dish should be the meal and not the sauce it can get a little dry. Things like the toffee pudding could use more custard or the pork belly a little more apple sauce. Vegetable sides were ok. And that is just it. It's a nice restaurant and for the...
