    I love this place! The ambient setting with happy customers, the friendly team who are so professional and the freshness of the food that is amply portioned and beautifully presented. Pricing is so reasonable for the quality and service. They are deservedly busy all year round - I highly recommend! Thank you Sword team!

    Outstanding food and excellent customer service. Our experience at the fox was fantastic- all the food was delicious and our waitress was so lovely. We had a guest with a gluten allergy and he was treated so well by staff. Our waitress made sure to spend a bit of extra time with him to point out the items on the menu that were suitable, reassuring us that the allergy was no issue to them to cater for.

    The Parakeet is a wonderful local, the room is buzzy and cool, the food excellent and staff great. This time, I had a guest with a number of food intolerances and our waiter and the chef annotated what would work and what can be altered. This resulted in a great meal for a difficult eater so thanks! We enjoyed the wine by the glass too as there was a wide range available. A great experience.
