    The restaurant is back to its good standard now Andy has bought. It’s great bustling vibe lovely food. A little pricey to add your sides but worth it. We weren’t happy with our wine and it was changed straightaway. Will be going back and will recommend. Thanks for bringing the nice restaurant back !

    I’ve been twice since this restaurant has re-opened and will definitely be going back. The refurb looks amazing - lovely lighting and atmosphere. But more importantly the food is great. Love the sea bass and burrata salad. Sticky toffee pudding was the perfect end to the meal. Very friendly service too!
