    Visited to try the festive lunch menu and it was absolutely delicious. From the soup to the lamb, the duck confit to the ham hock, poached pear and sticky toffee dessert, very dish was so tasty and very well presented. Excellent service from all the wait staff and great wine rec from Cino as always. Practically perfect. We're never disappointed by a meal here.

    Pleasant evening. When going to places like this, I do nitpick when spending top dollar. When greeted and presented to your table, you'll be asked if you would like water, either mineral or sparkling, good selling, but at £6 a bottle for mineral water, ask for tap! Good choice on the menu, vast wine list, but prices of wine have gone up since our last visit, but again I chose a bottle they didn't have. Food was good, my main course could have been hotter. Had a cappuccinos at the end of the meal, which obviously came out of automatic coffee machine, it was more like a Latte. Front of house staff were good and dressed in casual but smart bistro attire, but the trainers ?

    Table snacks and starter was beautiful. The lobster tail was well cooked. But the main fish was over cooked and dried.. It needed more sauce as well. Too expensive for what it is. The dessert choice was very poor. We still tried some fruits dishes but they weren't memorable. Wine and coffee are great. The staff are really lovely and friendly. I hope they gets most of the tips.

    Probably one of the best meals we've had this year and the cocktails were pretty damn good too. The menu was just to our liking. Every dish was cooked to perfection and presented excellently. Looking forward to going back.

    Starter of Venison (x2) was excellent. Main course of Beef was good. Main courses of Duck and Ham Hock were over-salted, as were some of the side dishes. Not very good considering the price.

    Lovely meal as always. We had a business meeting in town then needed to relax in a friendly environment Jess looked after us very well along with the unusually quiet Celso. Food and wine were great, an enjoyable day.
