The food was delicious, big portions. It comes out quick so we asked for a break twice which the team were happy to accommodate. The main course is epic. Beautifully cooked. The beef just melts, and literally I could eat that cauliflower cheese all day long. They kindly packed my desert up.

Lovely Sunday lunch with lots of delicious veg. Beef was tasty and tender. My daughter’s nut roast also got the thumbs up. Delicious brownies to finish and cappuccinos, chai and mint tea. Friendly service and even the dogs sausage sliced on the diagonal for great presentation! Never regretted a meal here, brunch, dinner or Sunday lunch.

What a gem of a place, the food was wonderful. We didn't realise something as simple as garlic bread could taste so delicious 😋 everything we ordered was full of flavour and my extremely fussy partner was bowled over by his pigs in blankets yorkie. Service was good and at £50 for the the two of us it was also very good value. We will definitely be back, thank you.
