Visited this restaurant last night for my Husband’s Birthday, staff were very efficient and friendly, couldn’t fault the service at all , we didn’t have to wait too long and the food was excellent, the only downside to our visit, which can’t be helped I know, the noise levels were really high due to a couple of “ loud “ diners near to our table! This hasn’t put us off and will definitely be returning soon!

Steaks and wine were absolutely fabulous. However, service was extremely slow. We didn’t order starters and it was over an hour after arrival before our food came having had to get up and ask the manager for a waiter to come to our table. It was my son’s graduation celebration and I was very disappointed at the service. Had it not been a special occasion, we would have left. But to be fair, the food and wine were superb, so in the end we we happy.

Went here on a date night with my husband and enjoyed a three course dinner with cocktails. We both felt the food was incredible and could taste that it was fresh produce. We sat in the window with the bifold shutters open so felt like we were outside on a glorious summer evening. Will return again soon especially on the 50% on monday and tuesday. Thank you for a lovely evening.

Quick friendly service, I don’t normally like rump steak as it’s always tougher. It was on the 2 pice menu for £14, I choose calamari, I wasnt over keen, but the steak made up for that, also the peppercorn sauce was good. My friend had chicken wings the chicken with garlic mushrooms, she was very happy
