    Hebben hier voor oud en nieuw gegeten. Er was wat miscommunicatie omtrent diner en live muziek, maar we hebben lekker gegeten en een leuke avond gehad. Er is een gezellige sfeer, volop keuze uit diverse drank en vriendelijke mensen

    Despite making a 5:30 booking for our family of 5 (including 3 children) and there being a clear kids menu on their website, they do not allow children after 5pm. This was not communicated to us prior to showing up for our booking, nor is it mentioned anywhere on their booking page or website. Overall the place seemed popular and lively so we were disappointed and confused by this and had a tricky time finding a new place to dine last minute. Other visiting families should be aware.

    Perfect experience for a non table service pub category of restaurant. The steak and ale pie was excellent, as was the baked Camembert appetizer
