Amazing food. Deserves its 2 rosettes. The staff were very attentive and good knowledge of wines from an extensive wine list. Both the Indian and British cuisine dishes were all made to a high standard. Loved the desserts.

The restaurant has extensive menus and caters for all tastes, with fresh and bright British, continental and Indian dishes, with meat, fish and vegetarian in all cuisines. A set two or three course menu and a la carte, all of which were happily interchangeable. The staff are attentive and very pleasant. I booked as friends had recommended and was not disappointed ! This was a birthday meal and if you are celebrating such an occasion, then you MUST let them know ! They made up the most stunning 'Happy Birthday' plate - with morsels of deliciousness. Would highly recommend and will definitely be returning, makes a excellent and welcome change to pub fare - much better value, and in delightful surroundings. Tables are well spaced and the restaurant, bar area and general areas all seemed extremely well kept, clean and fresh.

Myself and partner had the 3 course meal for my birthday treat. It was very disappointing. The chicken liver pâté tasted straight out of a tin and so salty made me feel sick. The steak was fat with a tiny bit of meat. The desert was so sickly after 1 bite you were done. The couple next to us agreed and thought the food was also disappointing. We did not enjoy one dish. It’s a huge shame. We had extra costs included.. even for sauce which was odd as who has steak with no sauce?! Really disappointing and would not recommend. Would also like to say that whilst speaking to others that evening they also agreed that the food was ‘disgusting’’

The food quality was not as good as in a previous visit some months ago. My pork dish was nice enough but not a patch on a similar dish I had eaten there earlier in April. I was expecting the same dish, but was disappointed. My husband said each of the duck pieces on his dish had a very different flavour. Curious, he asked the waitress if they were two different cuts of duck, but she never came back with an answer to his query. My son's chicken "nuggets" were overcooked and dry. I also thought that charging £6.50 for just the two slices of garlic bread from the kids menu starter was very cheeky. Aircon felt very cold at the time we were there too. Friendly staff to be fair, but we'll probably give it a miss next time because of the drop in food quality on this visit.

The afternoon tea was very nice. The scones were the stars of show being light, fluffy and warm. The staff were friendly and attentive.

The staff were very attentive and the food was excellent. However, one waiter appeared to not understand English and we had to point at the menu so he understood our order. I would also prefer to make my own decision about whether to tip or not so having the “discretionary tip” included was embarrassing if we’d wanted it removing. Altogether though the experience was a good one.
