    Enjoyed it for restaurant week probably wouldn’t return. As a vegan, It was all cauliflower. The bang bang cauliflower was unreal very tasty, The vegan schnitzel very disappointing and too greasy. The green Goddess salad that came with the schnitzel was tasty, the avocado that came with was mid and nothing special. Staff were canny enough. Also £25 for a bottle of wine that’s ordinarily £7.99 is a crazy markup.

    Chicken was delicious and a very large portion. Banana waffles were the star of the show though. A smart venue with a relaxed atmosphere.

    Lovely restaurant. Nicely furnished and immaculately clean. Food was great and prepared in an open kitchen. Staff were spot on. Attentive without being intrusive.

    Lovely food. Had to wait a little while for our plates to be cleared and to be asked if we wanted anything else. It wasn’t busy at all
