So dined here today at lunchtime. Been meaning to eat here for a while. Students preparing, cooking and serving the food. Atmosphere? Great! A real buzz about the place. Service? Very professional. Personal. Good banter. Real sense of humour thrown in. Great interaction. Food beautifully presented and cooked. Delicious too. Portion size good. Vegetables lovely. Great roast potatoes! Dessert....cheese, figs, brioche....lovely end to the meal. Filter coffee to finish. Mine pies offered. Too full but appreciated. Crackers provided too. Exceptional value for money. Very well done the students for the food, cooking and service. Highly impressed. Thank you...
