We booked to celebrate our 54th Wedding Anniversary (I had mentioned this in my booking) The food was very good but there was not much interaction with staff other than taking our orders and “is everything ok” it would have been nice if a member of staff had wished us a Happy Anniversary.

Excellent food and very good service. Sad that we had to wait so long for our food (but it was Saturday night and busy!) but the food was definitely worth waiting for. Sadly we weren't left enough time for dessert.

Lunch meeting with friends. Food was very good however the restaurant area was packed and we were right next to a very hot radiator. Maybe better to choose the less busy and more spacious bar area.

Our first visit - many more to come. Upon many recommendations we visited with gift vouchers as a treat. We were warmly welcomed as though we were regulars, shown to a perfect table. Waiting staff were so very hospitable and helpful throughout. Food was amazing, so fresh. Perfect ambiance, we were sadly too full for dessert but just wanted to stay to enjoy the atmosphere. We left feeling full and content and very excited to come back!

Everything was great - only very minor issue was the length of time to get our food, however, it was absolutely worth the wait! The lamb is amazing! We will definitely be back. Great atmosphere, great food, fab wine and friendly team - what more could you want.

Food was excellent. Only downside was that my wife sat next to 2 radiators which were boiling hot which made her too hot. Also the chairs were uncomfortable.
