We dropped in for a meal before going back I the theatre which is little more than 100 yards around the corner. Friendly staff, warm ambience and great food. We’ll be back.

With not much time before our Theatre trip, this was a great choice of restaurant. We were served so quickly but this did not detract from the excellent quality of the food! The waiter was so nice even though he was managing single handed in an excellent fashion! Would definitely recommend :-)

Very pleasant staff and good service. The meal was tasty and good value and the portions were of a good size. The venue is perfect for a later visit to the theatre.

Friendly, helpful but not pushy service.Meals were quick and of fab quality- we all had a great time We had a couple of fussier diners with us but their requests were noted and food came as asked- the set evening menu is quite limited for fussier diners being the only reason I scored 5 and not 6

Food excellent, Waiter excellent. Bit rushed as only allowed 2 hours, could have done with 2 1/2 -3 hours. Bit disappointed that there wasn't a cocktail menu so that I could see what was in each one.

The meal was ok. The bill was £36.50 and I had every intention of leaving the change from £40 as a tip but when no change arrived I decided to ask for my change and gave them £1.50. To my way of thinking a tip is discretionary restaurants should not decide to take their own tip. Rant over!!

Lovely friendly restaurant, staff were brilliant, dinner was good although my granddaughter had beef skewers which were very small, we were also disappointed with a tiny banoffee pie for pudding, which was very nice but far too small!

Beautifully presented food which was well cooked and we found the service efficient and friendly. Perhaps the interior is a little old-fashioned but it has its own charm

Was disappointed as we didn't know the restaurant was under new management . There was little atmosphere unlike previously. My meal was average and in actual fact I had a very upset stomach during a theatre performance afterwards.I won't be recommending this restaurant and won't visit again.

Lovely waitress but food not good at all. Although they did prepare my daughter's main course again (and it was fine second time around). And they didn't charge us for the two dreadful burgers. Some of the other meals looked ok - maybe we were just unlucky...

Sunday lunch was lovely. We all ate off the set menu and all the food was really good. They made changes when requested. Good service at the right speed. There were seven of us and we had a comfortable table with enough room.

Went in a party of six, shown to our table and drinks ordered and served quite quickly 3 of us ordered the garlic mushrooms starter, but none of us could taste any garlic when eating it. The pork belly and crushed new potatoes main was very tasty, plenty of potatoes but could have done with a vegetable as well, such as runner beans. The friends who ordered sea bass were happy with theirs, as well as potatoes they had tomatoes and beans. Our 5 mains were only just lukewarm, but the steak and chips order was hot so guess ours had to wait while that was being cooked. Coffees ordered and arrived promptly. Food overall good value for money, although drinks on the pricey side.
