Not much atmosphere as we had an early dinner so restaurant quiet however the surroundings are good. Service a little slow considering it was so quiet. Food good though salad was very dry without a dressing on the chicken milanese but chicken was lovely

I asked for a table in the middle of the restaurant, so was surprised to see my 2 friends sitting against the wall, on the uncomfortable green bench seating, which was no good for the friend who has a bad back, so she had to sit on the chair, which is not that comfortable either... The food was very good, as was the service, but the noise level was so high we often couldn't hear ourselves speak! I should have been told that there were large groups coming and we might have chosen to go elsewhere...

There was a children's party going on with small boys running around the restaurant, popping balloons, screaming and generally creating a noisy, stressful atmosphere. I had expected a pleasant, relaxed restaurant experience, not a playground.

Warm welcome on a gloomy day. We were given a round booth seat so we were able to chat. Very nice vegetarian and kid's menu for my son (that was the primary reason I booked the restaurant to have lunch with my vegetarian friends). Good service and value for money.

Amazing service, and my friend was able to comfortably breastfed in a safe environment without disturbing customers, appropriate baby changing and clean toilets also available. Wide variety of menu options. Cranberry mocktails and spicy sausage pasta were incredible. Lovely quick spot for a friends catch up. Thank you very much.

Food not good especially the chicken saltimbocca which was over cooked, shrivelled and dry and drowned in a watery gravy tasting like Bisto gravy granules. Poor and expensive
