    Table of 5 family - Anniversary Dinner - looked after VERY well, food consistently excellent, ambiance is perfect for the style, loved the music to go with this year's Selfridges 70's Disco theme!! My family all felt very spoilt and amazed with the whole experience. Cocktails are strong and delicious and wine list perfect. You MUST share an Eton Mess with someone you love (and trust to stick to just half! lol)

    Everything was just perfect and feels like such a treat. From the moment you turn up at the door and they have a cloakroom to the moment you leave, you feel taken care of. The food was exquisite and the Christmas drinks were fun, festive and delicious.

    We booked brunch on Bank Holiday Monday and were delighted to find that the restaurant was a small independent business with lots of staff and a great family atmosphere. The service was friendly and they even made me an espresso martini that wasn’t on the menu. Food was all prepared to order and was absolutely delicious! I would highly recommend this place to anyone. It’s small but has both an upstairs and an outside dinning area. A great find 🥰❤️🥰❤️
