We went as a group of 9 about 2 weeks before Christmas. Everyone was warm and friendly, the food was gorgeous (as always) and it was so reasonable. We also didn't feel like we were being ushered in and out which can happen with groups around Christmas, which was really a really nice touch that didn't go unnoticed

Fabulous place to eat. We were sat beside where they make the pasta. Such a cool experience getting to watch it being made fresh. The food itself was amazing. Each dish did not let me down. Our main was the venison ragu and it was so tender. Would highly recommend. Staff were fantastic. Explained everything perfectly, we’re kind and courteous.
