We had the early set menu (three courses for £37) which was the same price as a standard main course. It was excellent; lots of choice and generous portions. Would recommend the trout starter and belly pork main. Extras still add up, mind. End bill was twice that when we added sides, an aperitif and a carafe of wine. So fair value in the end rather than 'bargain'.

We went for an early dinner to celebrate birthday and it was an exceptional experience from start to finish. The moment we walked in, we were greeted by the warm and friendly staff who made us feel instantly welcome. Their attentiveness and genuine hospitality truly set the tone for the evening. The food was absolutely delicious—each dish was a perfect blend of flavors and beautifully presented. You can tell the chefs take pride in their craft. Whether you're a fan of classic favorites or adventurous new dishes, the menu has something to delight every palate. The cocktails were exceptional, crafted to perfection by the talented bartenders. I’d highly recommend trying the Old Fashioned or Margarita. I can’t recommend this restaurant enough. It’s the perfect spot for a special occasion, a casual night out, or just treating yourself to something wonderful. We’ll definitely be back!
