What a fabulous restaurant! The service was exemplary, the food was delicious and such an attractive setting. We all agreed that even though the restaurant was buzzing, and we had quite a central table, it still felt intimate. We had a really lovely time and we will be back - highly recommended!

Had a really enjoyable Sunday roast today and the staff were great. We were a table of four but Unfortunately we were sat next to a table of 20 so we couldn’t hear each other speak. That’s not the fault of the restaurant but maybe they need to think about that when seating people. Overall a good experience though

Really lovely roast dinner. My sons had the sharing board and everything was great. At first it looked like it wasn’t a very big portion of food, but actually there was loads and we couldn’t finish it. Lovely waitress and love the decor
