Thanks. Had a lovely time as always and loved the food and felt really welcome by everyone. The atmosphere is really nice, cozy and warm, perfect for an autumnal evening. There were enough vegan options on the menu so we're happy about that. We'd love more vegan options as starters if you ever fancied that. In any case, looking forward to visiting you again!

We’ve been in the restaurant many times and the food’s been always outstanding however it’s not been the case today. Chilli coconut soup too salty, the fish main course salty and the ballotine of chicken dry. Seems like a big drop in food quality? Do you have new cook?

Food on this occasion was more variable in quality than previously. I had sea bass, very well cooked, accompanied by very hard potatoes, some even darker and harder than others. Cooking on previous occasions has always been good so I hope this was a one-off rather than a trend.

Todays visit but as good as the one we had on the 04th May for my wife’s 70th Birthday. Food, service and overall experience was first class. Bit disappointed today , food was average and certainly not worth the £111 paid for a lunch. However, plan to come back for my birthday in November.

Despite having booked a table we had to wait in a very busy area with standing room only. We were not made to feel welcome. When we were eventually shown to a table, it was in an almost empty room with one other table of diners. There was no atmosphere. Having said that, the food was delicious.

Great food, fish was so fresh and the chips were amazing. Local beer was excellent. Location is beautiful. There was an event parallel to ours, so we had to wait a bit, but when the service came, it was very friendly, attentive and competent. Thank you for a wonderful evening!

We could not fault the food it was lovely but sadly at 5.30 pm our experience was spoiled by a loud 3 person table not eating only drinking !! Sad especially at that early hour when there is no consideration given to others
