There wasn’t a wide variety of choices throughout the three course menu, the food was extremely salty and didn’t get much food on plates for example lamb (which my partner had ) The chefs that we could see there was enough of them so there shouldn’t of been no faults with the food, however we could see a chef on his phone in the kitchen. The ice cream was melted when it came to be served to us which the staff said with the weather being warm, which was strange as isn’t ice-cream kept in a cold place We did nearly get over charged by £15.00, if my partner didn’t check the bill then we would of nearly ended up paying for it, this was due to different staff bringing out the food or either staff not checking tabs on what had been ordered. Overall we thought it was going to be excellent with it being owned by Blackwells which is good quality meat, however unfortunately we won’t be returning for any occasion

Food excellent quality. Staff very helpful. The menu is quite limited so we struggled to choose but the chef was happy to change some of the items on the dish to accommodate us. The prices of the meals means that for us it would have to be special occasion to go again. We are disappointed that the "tapas" type experience is no longer available. It was fun to have a variety of small dishes to try. Perhaps that could be incorporated into the menu somehow. Then we would be back sooner.

The quality of your food was amazing and it tasted delicious. My only feedback would be that the main really needed some more vegetables with it, whilst the portion of fish was generous and beautifully cooked, there was only 1 small potato cut in half on my dish and no accompanying vegetables, which surprised me.

We arrived at 730 and received a nice welcome offered drinks and then quite quickly shown to our table . The staff were friendly and took our order ..... starters arrived by 8 and were delicious ..... unfortunately we then waited till almost 9 pm for our main course with no apology . The food was nice but really too late when you book for 730 Would hesitate to return as service slow A shame as has great potential and is a nice venue

So. Venue is great, really cozy and inviting. Staff are great and food was very nice. I have do have to say that there was about a 30 minute wait between starter and main course which took the gloss off the whole evening but overall a pleasant dining experience.

Ordered chateaubriand but not told we would have to wait 45 minutes, in fact we waited an hour tho it was good when arrived. Our friends had tough lamb which was disappointing but management compensated us for this.
