It’s an often over-used cliche but with a vibrant atmosphere, delicious food, extensive drinks selection and staff who can advise you on both, a return visit is definitely on the cards.

This was our second visit and on this occasion we booked well in advance to ensure we could get a table on our chosen evening. Table was ready for us on arrival and staff were exceptionally polite ,attentive when required and discreetly fell into the background at other times. Choice and quality of food was excellent and enjoyed by all. Great atmosphere with enough background chatter to allow you to converse without feeling overheard. Not many restaurants these days we would rush back to but this is one of them even though it requires an overnight stay for us as a 160 mile round trip. Looking forward to the next opportunity to visit.

Service was excellent! Food was excellent too, and until the aircon went on, it was nice and hot... not sure the aircon was necessary as it was -2 outside! Would have mentioned it, but we weren't there for much longer, and us Brits don't like to cause a fuss do we!! :-).

Very attentive staff and food was good. Large portions but a bit expensive for what it was. The chacuterie sharing starter was a bit of a disappointment but the nachos were good.

Food superb as always but the drinks selection was very poor due to them not receiving their craft beer delivery. That was a main reason to book the smoke pit was the craft beer selection so was very disappointed

Ten of us visited last Saturday. table booked for 5pm as we were going to a show at the Derngate. We all had a delicious meal. from steak, ribs, pulled pork and soft shell crab. The meals are very generous in size and shared our sides, the mac'n cheese, fries etc. My favourite was the prawns - so plump and juicy. Fantastic atmosphere, great stuff - our third visit of many more!

Generally a pleasant evening, the food was great (thank goodness they give you take home cartons)as there was far to much food for the older members of our party. Great evening thanks

My husband and I visited last night. We had to wait 45 mins for our burgers. They both had a strange vinegar taste to them and were quite unpleasant. Also they were far more expensive than other restaurants, so I am afraid that was our first and last visit to this restaurant.
