Me and my partner went at 18:30, it was very quiet for that time which i prefer, the service was amazing and their steak is fantastic! My partner had a Veg Lasagne and overall it was very nice but she did say there was either a little too much cheese, or the fact they used smoked cheese caused it to be too intense for her (thats her own opinion though so don't feel afraid to try it yourself!!!). We were waited on very well, offering more as we came to the end of our meal but we only came out for a single course main. It was starting to get busier as we were leaving around 19:45. Would definitely recommend, and we will be back!

Our first visit here since restaurants and pubs were allowed to reopen. Could not fault the service level, quality of the food and social distancing and hygeine measures. The staff all seemed to have been well trained in these difficult times. Well impressed and will return before too long.

You have some of the new lighting lamps that have visible filaments which are very uncomforatable when they're in your line of vision for an hour or more. Frosted lamps would be much better.

Been before so I knew the food and service would be excellent and we weren’t disappointed! The restaurant was extremely busy and our waiter warned us there might be a 30 minute wait for food but it came out much quicker than that and was excellent quality.
