    Amazing food and service as always. The chicken shish was fab and I’m sure the portions are getting bigger. Mushrooms to start are in the most amazing garlic creamy sauce my favourite. Great service and a lovely afternoon with friends.

    Arrived on time and seated within a few minutes. Place was quite busy but service was timely and without over zealous staff. Starter was served within 10 mins and main course after a pleasant 25 mins. Not rushed at all and food was delicious.
