    Always lovely but ran out of roasts really early. Plenty of other yummy things to choose from but the roasts are so good it was a bit disappointing

    Service was great and relaxed atmosphere.Quality of food although good, 2 of the lunches were superb fish & chips. Focaccia lunch was just a huge sandwich on a small wooden board which meant food kept falling off onto the table. I personally found it too large for both the board and for my appetite and felt the money was wasted. I would have been more than happy to pay just over half the price for half of the meal. Other clients also were overhead saying they were struggling to eat it. The Caesar salad would have fed out whole table so again was too large and therefore a lot of wastage.

    There’s wasn’t any background music so some other divers played their own music through the phone which ruined the ambience somewhat. Staff didn’t ask them to turn it off. The same couple was also letting their dog run free around the restaurant which was fairly inconsiderate. We don’t mind dogs but if we had or we had had our dog with us it wouldn’t have made the experience more stressful. Again the staff didn’t say anything. We felt £24 for a fairly average burger and fries was pretty expensive.

    Stunning views and outstanding food. We had the set A La Carte venue which was very good value for the standard of food served up. Excellent choice of options available and all produced using beautiful, and unusual ingredients. Would recommend!
