As always, it was a pleasure to eat out in the Wild Goose restaurant and the food, ambience and service was excellent. It was good to talk to Kevin and to have the opportunity to tell him of our sincere regret that he is leaving. It is a shame that this wonderful project which has run very successfully for 17 years has to end. Whatever turns up in its place will unfortunately not match what Kevin has achieved

We had such a lovely experience. Went for a family dinner to celebrate a birthday and from start to finish the staff were amazingly attentive and friendly. The food was divine as was the wine. Although we didn’t get it, they do all night Wednesday early bird menu.

We hadn't been there in a while and after our beautiful meal we will be revisiting soon. The restaurant was busy but we were looked after very well. The staff were extremely attentive. The food itself was gorgeous and it's no wonder the place was busy. Overall, we had a lovely meal and dining experience. Well recommended.
