I ended up changing the timing of our table of 6 three times due to changing plans for my son’s graduation and the staff were so lovely about it even though it must have been very frustrating.

4 of us visited and the food was brilliant although the malteser cheesecake was disappointing, no malteaser taste and it was too cheesy. Restaurant is really nice and service was good. I would definitely go there again and would recommend to others!

The 'optional' 10% service charge is not really optional, it's automatically included in your bill.

excellent service, quality and quantity of food. standard service charge of 10% added for a table of 4 with toddler excessive (we would have given that amount+ anyway, just principal for me) but overall we enjoyed our visit and will visit again. slight mark down for atmosphere as it was so quiet but not their fault and picked up as we were leaving.

Cant fault the staff, they were wonderful, atmosphere just right. On the whole our food was very good, I had fillet steak with tailbone stovies, but the sauce and stovies had been over salted. It could be a personal taste but there was two of us who had the dish and we both said the same.

First time at this restaurant. Food was delicious and good value for money. Did overhear another table comment on how small the lemon sole was and it was £20! Service was quite slow, but we were enjoying each others company so we didn’t mind too much. Would have been nice to have the lights dimmed and some music playing. It was very bright and full of chatter. 10% service charge is added to the bill which didn’t bother me but had the service been slower I might not have been happy.

Very cold and despite asking for heater, which was there, staff did not help. Staff pleasant to start with but clueless. Our visit went into evening and service went downhill. Head waitress very focussed on evening bookings and was inflexible to accommodate existing customers...became quite rude towards us. Shame really as food and cocktails was lovely. Their lack of skills of hospitality did add to our experience in terms of so bad it was comical entertainment!!

The food was excellent, can recommend the mac and cheese with chorizo! Staff and service were great. Only tiny complaint would be that the dining room was pretty cold as not many folk in at this time. The staff did turn up the radiator though which did help! We'll definitely be back.
