    Booked for a group of 9 for work meal. Loved the interior when we arrived. Seated and waited on very shortly after. Having ordered the meal, wait was somewhat long but oh was it worth it. The fillet steak was fabulous. Even down to their Brandy pepper sauce. Desert was also delicious. This is a place I will most certainly return to and I recommend to anyone looking for lovely food. Staff were lovely.

Everywhere you looked, there was garlic bread. Coeliac options were there aswell. I got the piri piri chicken, sauce on side was so spicy. My hubby got the striploin, well done. We shared. Would defo go back.

    As usual, the lunch special was excellent and very good value. I could almost claim to be disappointed because it wasn't brilliant--which it sometimes rises to--but that doesn't seem quite fair. My guest was delighted with the croque madame, which is my default dish if for some reason the special doesn't appeal to me.
