A wonderful lunch - the welcome, food and ambience are so great, and so comforting in miserable January. Food is always banging - good mix of old favourites (hello cod’s roe) and new things. Highlight today was a really unctuous cuttlefish, tomato, saffron stew w aioli. Truly outstanding. My dog Gus is always so welcomed w is an added bonus. Thank you!! Xx
