    Lovely atmosphere and food was nice. However staff didn't seem that interested in serving us - very casual attitude, drinks randomly plonked on tables with no effort to place them in front of the right guest, requests forgotten, left alone for a long time being ignored by the staff etc. A shame as the service used to be really excellent. For the prices they really need to do better.

    4 of us friends sat upstairs which is more of a restaurant & spacious. I felt downstairs has more of a cafe vibe. Food was delicious, ambience good, service very good other than 1 woman who was so unfriendly. She needs to learn some customer service and how to smile!

    Only complaint I have today was that even though we’d booked a table we were placed in the direct line of the door which meant we were sitting in a fraught. Didn’t ruin the meal but made the atmosphere a little chiller!

    Had a great lunch with a big group of 8. Staff and service friendly, but as we were tucked away in a corner, we had to flag staff down to order. Building and restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas. Food was very good and generous portions for adults and children.
