    Delighted to find that the set lunch was on offer (it being a Monday - the website and menu implied not) -it's excellent value. Though easy for the bill to mount up with extras. The English sparkling wine was a bit of a surprise - I think it might be good to warn customers. We really liked it (once we'd adjusted), but I can imagine it might not suit those looking for a glass of Prosecco. The shallots starter was really excellent, as was the ragu main (though the portion was on the small side). The bitter leaf side salad was delicious and the bread was tasty if not exceptional (good butter). I found the rhubarb and Campari sorbet a bit tricky - I'm not sure if the pairing really works. The staffing was good, if a little vague at times. Lots of really nice things coming out of the kitchen on other tables (the pork rib and the chips looked great as did the ham and the ravioli) and the whole atmosphere is really delightful. Would like to come back of an evening.
