Been wanting to go here since they opened, finally got a table. Heard and read great things about this place. I can see now why it's got such high praise and why it's worth waiting to get a booking. From the moment we entered the place was so inviting, the service was excellent. As for the food it was incredible, not one bad course, I opted for the extra course of pheasant, which I'm so glad I did it was one of my favourites. I've been to quite a few tasting menus and this was up there as one of my favourites. The place has a lovely homely family vibe, the chef/owner came out and chatted to us about one of the courses and we ended up chatting for a little, really nice guy. This is such an amazing addition to Urmston and deserves all the success. Get booked in and you won't be disappointed. We will be returning for the next convenient available slot. Been here a few times now and it never disappoints. The food is incredible we went on Sunday for there Sunday roast and it was amazing, every element was off the scale. I'd go for the three courses as the portions aren't huge but...

It was casual and comfortable, and I loved the way they set the table, with a little stack of utensils for each person. It was very pragmatic and you could use whatever implement you liked without paying heed to “rules”… although my friend did manage to knock hers over a few times in one evening.
The service was also very good and staff very attentive. Some may argue that they were a little “unpolished” but I quite like the lack of “pomp”.
The tasting menu was interesting. Every single item was well executed and enjoyable, but when put together, the menu was not well balanced. Everything just felt too heavy altogether. This is going to sound very odd… I found myself loving every single course, but not the entire meal overall.
This is definitely a place to keep an eye out.The chefs are definitely talented and I can’t help but feel that as the restaurant establishes itself, things will get...
Read moreBooked this based on reviews and the hype that is circulating at the moment but sadly very disappointed with the whole experience. On the face of it, the tasting menu does look good value at £45pp but that is only six courses which, when you factor in the actual size of the size of the dishes means you’ll leave hungry. You could have an extra two dishes but that is a supplement of £18.
After adding the English Wine option (£45pp) and drinks to start and finish, we were left with a bill of £275 for two people yet feeling wholly underwhelmed by the food. The drinks are very good but still City Centre prices.
I think everyone in Urmston wants to see new restaurants succeed, but sadly I can’t see people returning unless the portion sizes/value for money issued...
