    We had a lovely Sunday lunch with friends. Our starters - olives and pickles were delicious. Our roasts were excellent apart from the lamb which was a bit fatty and sinewy so I had to leave some as I couldn’t chew it. A shame as it was delicious. Desserts were spot on too. The staff were great and we look forward to going back.

    Was very excited for this having booked a while in advance following Masterchef. Generally poor atmosphere, server attempting to take wine glasses before we had stated we were actually having wine for the table. Definitely some kind of prejudice involved that we had a baby with us, who was actually asleep at the table and disturbed no one. Would not return again. Food ok, but better can be found for a fraction of the price under more accommodating circumstances.
