Food was delicious. Having a vegan menu was a bonus too as often vegetarian options can be disappointing in restaurants. Staff friendly and helpful too.

Fabulous place, food always delicious. Quick no fuss service, great wines and even better cocktails. Recommend trying the ‘gin fizz’ which is equal to anything you get served in a high end cocktail bar. Also you must try the frozen raspberries and hot white chocolate sauce

The service was a wee bit slow, even when eye contact was made. Also I felt my main wasn’t great, I wasn’t convinced the chicken was cooked all the way it looked slightly pink and no one approached to ask how things were. I was grateful my starter was nice

The food was super. Really lovely menus and great vegan choices. The atmosphere is really great there. It was quite busy but we weren’t in any rush so didn’t mind. Reasonabley priced for the high quality of food. Would definitely go back.

Small and quaint restaurant where we arrived a half hour early, they made us welcome and showed us straight to a table. The menu came and we had a bottle of their own brewed red ale which was very good. We ordered and the food came quickly and was of exceptional quality, 3courses and didn’t leave a scrap. Excellent

The food was lovely however despite a phonecall a week in advance of our visit and their accommodation of vegan/vegetarian/gluten free diets the chef seemed annoyed at having to accommodate for my nut allergy. We booked the tasting menu through itison and the ‘sample’ menu featured a dish containing peanuts. I called to check that I could either skip that course or be offered a suitable alternative (as chosen by the restaurant- I’m not fussy and eat anything apart from the obvious). I was told this wouldn’t be a problem. I was left feeling embarrassed when the chef approached our table and asked why I had booked the tasting menu when I have a nut allergy. I was disappointed with his attitude but he was eventually able to offer me an alternative.

Food OK but glasses very used/scratched looking. Damp smell. Bone in chicken salad. Requested fizzy water and given a glass with fizzy soda, no bottle of water provided even though small bottles of coke given for others. Felt a little cheap.

Booked for midweek lunch with 5 others. Cold day and on arrival a small electric fire was on beside the door which was welcoming, but no staff to direct us to our table. After several minutes one of my team went to the back of the restaurant to seek help. Waitress was delightful and top marks for her. Food and choices were of a good standard from the set menu. Unlucky for me that the salmon was finished so I was offered a fish cake instead, which was delicious - served with sauce and rocket - the plate did seem a little bare for a main course. The restaurant was comfortable and service was very good. Overall I would recommend, the set lunch is good value.

We loved the food and the ambience. The only downside was watching the male server use his hands to handle the cut bread from a large container. He had previously emptied the bin and no sign of cleaning his hands.. One of the female servers used antibacterial gel and used a napkin to remove the bread before serving. I'm sure they have all been on a hygiene course and know what they should do.
