I booked online for a Christmas lunch, but when arrived were told you have to specifically pre-book the Christmas lunch menu - there was no option / prompt to do this online so a little disappointing not to have the menu we went for. We were seated very promptly and our table was ready when we arrived - however, we were seated in a booth upstairs and the seat was all torn and the foam exposed. It looked like a cheap greasy spoon café! Décor inside was nice apart from this (and the confusing curtains at the entrance as you feel like you are performing a magic act :-)). The starter arrived - my friend ordered goats cheese, and I the pate. Goats cheese was a very small portion (one thin slice) and the pate looked like someone has ran out to a local supermarket. However, it did taste ok. The main dishes were definitely the stars of the show - chicken for my friend and I had the beef which was thoroughly lovely. For dessert we both chose the chocolate brownie - was ok, a fairly average offering. Overall, probably wasn't as nice as we had hoped for.

Booked this for a Christmas meal with my friend but we opted for the normal lunch menu instead of the Christmas one. We both had the French Onion soup and Steak Frites, then fruit crumble and chocolate brownie for dessert. Food was delicious, reasonably priced and all served very quickly too. Will definitely be back.

Fabulous. We picked this restaurant specifically because they offer a separate vegan menu. The food was excellent as was the venue, the staff and the general ambience. Definitely recommended - great for everyone and 10 out of 10 for the vegan meal.

Our experience here was great, it was a relatively quiet Sunday lunchtime. We were given two menu options. A set menu and the al carte. Plenty of choices on both. Staff were attentive and food was great. Would definitely return.

Brian M.7 years ago · 1 review

Difficult to put my finger on it but it was just average and I left feeling underwhelmed. Service was mixed - the male on duty looked as if he didn't want to be there and had zero personality while our waitress was excellent. Food was decent but overpriced esp the starters and a restaurant such as this should not be using paper napkins and laminated menus

An amazing vegan starter and main course. Friendly and attentive staff as always. It would be good if they offered vegan menu to diners rather than assuming they want the main one, some might prefer the choice

The food was wonderful- imaginative menu. The restaurant was extremely busy with Christmas diners - this did not affect the efficiency and professionalism of the waitresses. However, we were given quite a few subtle reminders that our table was needed.

Quite nice restaurant, food was nice, not amazing but good nevertheless. Good atmosphere. Service was ok, not great, felt like we were being a nuisance just asking for more drinks. They did it of course just missing the friendliness I find in other places. Don’t think I’ll be a regular but I will be back & would still recommend people to give it a try
