Mains feature prime aged beef with classic sauces, dayboat whole fish, or our artichoke pithivier – all with triple-cooked chips and buttered cabbage - and finishing with our famous sticky toffee pudding with Armagnac custard.

    Visited this restaurant a few days ago. I have never experienced such boring, uninspired food presentation and witnessed so much money charged for so little in a restaurant. We were even charged £2.50 for filtered tap water. And the side salad I asked for which contained 6 lettuce leaves was not worth £6.00. Will not be visiting this restaurant again.

    The service here was good, staff were super helpful and lovely. The food was great, the steak tartar was amazing. The sauce for the pork was a bit sweet for my liking but the pork itself was cooked perfectly.

    The food was decent here but I think unfortunately overpriced, the chicken especially, you pay extra for any sides and although the chicken was nice it came by in self apart from a hidden bit of artichoke and was £25 which just seems like too much. The sticky toffee pudding was a good portion size but tasted slightly burnt and was a little hard and costs £12 which felt steep.
