    We chose the venue based in the menu shown on opentable. However on arrival it was clear the menu bore no resemblance and there was no vegan menu. They blamed opentable for not keeping the menu up to date. We left without ordering. The restaurant was empty - staff were apologetic.

    Such nice food we got a few starters to share between us and the dirty fries, the popcorn squid was insane too. Cannot wait to come for a meal on the main bit

    Very limited menu and awful service. OK as a bar but not as a place to eat.

    Service has gone downhill it’s a shame, for three of us to eat the bill was incorrect and no one wanted to take responsibility so we ended up paying more

    Our annual Christmas get together! Service was fabulous, the bottomless fizz was free flowing. The only down side was a few of the food options had run out so we had to have alternatives, but the alternatives were still nice so it’s wasn’t a big deal.

    This never happened as we were informed on arrival that they had run out of food and were therefore closing and that they had repeatedly tried to contact us. On checking they had rung at mid-day (once) to say last serving was at 7.30 and therefore they could not do 8 pm. Since our reservation was confirmed and a reminder sent to us on the day before we were not very happy!
