“ Fantastic meal again. Service was a bit shaky at the start, we had to collar the waitress at the start to order drinks and then another to order food. Training is fine but do it on another night apart from a busy Saturday night. Atmosphere was great and the singers are a great addition. Food was superb to be honest, probably the best Fish and chips I've had in a long time and even though it's a staple English dish is served well - love the pot of gravy - you wouldn't get that down south! Cocktails good but expensive at 12 a throw. ”
“ Had a lovely Afternoon Tea. Lovely venue. Service, could have been more attentive, we had to go and find staff for extra drinks as they were moving chairs. Venue nice, maybe background music could be played when venue not busy. ”
“ The decor of this restaurant is beautiful and modern. The food was all perfectly prepared and arrived to the table very quickly. We probably ordered too much food as the portions are quite big! Make sure you leave room for dessert and a cocktail afterwards. ”
“ Went for an afternoon bite to eat (4 of us), booked a reservation for indoors but the weather was good, so sat outside.. waiter gave us a tab number and we had both table service and went to the bar ourselves.. great service and food as always.. brilliant place to relax and dine.. highly recommend ”
“ The food is incredible, wine and cocktails also amazing! but honestly The one thing that really stands out is the staff. We were served by a couple of different people, and they are just so happy & pleasant! It really does create a lovely atmosphere to not just ‘eat’ but go for a nice meal. I can’t wait to go back! Hats off to the chefs and staff! ”
“ Went for afternoon tea which was really good and service quick and efficient. Good choice of sandwiches and cakes couldn't eat it all and takeaway box was provided without any fuss. ”
“ The food is incredible! The prices are not cheap but it is justified with the quality of the food. The service is also outstanding, friendly and attentive staff. I will most definitely be returning. David, the owner was also extremely friendly and welcoming. First class from start to finish. ”
“ Was a little concerned with the portion size since I'd only gone for a main meal – will order a starter too next time. Wouldn't want an extra side to distract from the exceptional Greek Lamb, which was cooked to perfection, and presented with delicious aubergine & potato terrine, couscous, courgette and a sun-blushed tomato dressing. ”
