   Great venue and ambience, friendly staff. wonderful menu but when plates arrived we all commented on the unnecessarily small portions of the side dishes ( especially the mash potato) and a couple of the main dishes. And our mains were categorised as 'larger dishes' on the menu! We looked enviously when the next table had normal sized portions of fish and chips! We recommend asking ahead for the description of the desired dishes and portion size so you can at least manage your expectations! The trifle dessert was lovely, date pudding a bit dry.

   Outstanding as always. The service is incredible you are made to feel very special. The staff are so knowledgable about every aspect of the menu and the drinks list and are very good at recommending pairings. We love it here and are lucky enough to live close by. Thanks again for a wonderful meal. The hash browns with truffle cream and caviar are to die for x

   Excellent food, which is the main point of a restaurant. Service was slow at times because they also had a large party but this did not detract from the experience. I was cold but I am nearly 80, so it may be me rather than the heating.

   A little difficult to find even for a local! The signage is not very visible in the dark on windswept rainy night. Starters wise, the whipped goats cheese with beetroot was very good. Unfortunately the potted shrimp tart was undercooked with an unseemly raw mix pouring out once the pastry case was cut open. It was changed without fuss and fulsome apologies but disappointing nonetheless. The main courses were much better and the venison loin and cod, fennel and shellfish sauce are both highly recommended. Overall a pleasant meal in good experience but given the price point I probably expected better.

   overall our experience was great. not too stuffy, attentive, knowledgable staff good choice on the menu good wine list Our only gripe was that our steaks weren't great... they were cooked on a low heat so had no crust / bark / Maillard reaction so were missing a bit of flavour / texture. Also I personally don't like my steak sliced up for me.. all the starter bits were great. the fish and chips were massive and the slow-cooked rib super complex and rich.

    Fabulous food and the staff were lovely, very attentive and friendly. Would have preferred to sit downstairs as I felt the atmosphere was better, but overall it was lovely.
