Exceptionally done modern British food. The service was flawless, which is impressive considering it opened only a few weeks ago. The Sunday menu was solid, with the highlights being the scotch egg, as well as celeriac. The vibe is nice, lively without being too noisy. A place where you can actually enjoy the food and chat.

It was a great experience visiting a pub in Uk for the first time. The atmosphere and service was warm and welcoming. We had scotch egg and Wellington beef which were delicious. We paid 49 pounds for the Wellington beef for 2 persons which was a great value for quality.
