I was supporting three ladies with intellectual disabilities, the staff were so accommodating and welcoming. We had a lovely booth reserved for us, the plates were cleaned. We had already been before and from that experience I've recommended it to so many people I know. Definitely be back again, it never disappoints!

Service was swift and waitresses/waiters very polite. Will definitely visit again but I would suggest reservations on weekends as it was very busy last Sunday but we had made a booking through opentable so no issues.

We had a good table in the window. It was comfortably warm on a very cold day. However the rest of the venue is a bit dark and would benefit from updating and more light.
