Do not like like loud music playing in eating establishments. Spoils the ambience when enjoying a meal as good as that served in the Bank. Sat eating whilst wearing ear plugs, which took the edge off our visit

Music too loud to have a comfortable conversation across the table so we asked to be moved which was not a problem.

Had been wanting to go back since the Aug/Sept menu became available so I could try the chicken skin Crisps so was very disappointed to find that they'd ran out. However, I shared his Crackling (which we got free of charge because the chef thought it were overcooked) and it were amazing. Starters were also fantastic. He had pork cheeks, I had risotto, both were very good sized portions and tasted out of this world. He had chicken Kiev for main which he said was also fantastic, I had gnocchi which was nice but had quite a dry consistency overall making it quite heavy. His pudding was again fantastic (crumble) but he couldn't eat it all after everything else. My biscoff cheesecake wasn't so good - made him try it to check it wasn't just me but he didn't like it either....I ate the base. They also gave us 2 free drinks because somehow (no idea how) they knew that we'd just got married. We'll definitely be back....I need to try those chicken skin crisps.

Some of the food had been overcooked or left under the heating lights and was very dry. Staff were told and they said they would "pass it on". Nothing else was said.

Great food, good ambience, fantastic service & real value for money. Harry our waiter was very attentive & had great knowledge about the food on offer, answering any questions we had with no hesitation. 2 course fathers day set menu, bottle of wine & beers just over a £100 for four people 😀👍🏻

First visit, loved the decor etc. Food really good. One tiny dislike..husband found too much gravy over his dish, pie was swimming in it. Better to serve gravy separately in jug. Pleasant, friendly waiter.

Food was fantastic as usual. Would be a good idea if they told you about things that aren't available when they give you the menus rather than waiting until you're ordering.
