    Great restaurant serving terrific food. Started with monkfish cheeks and followed up with a lamb roast dinner. A very generous portion and along with roasts and vegetables all cooked perfectly. Highly recommend. Good choice of wines but all expensive. £30 for what was a basic red the cheapest available.

    We had a lovely meal and experience with one notable exception. Each of the 4 people who ordered the Pork main course were disappointed with their meal. We had expected a roast pork meal. The offering was altogether too firm and the plate entirely brown. This was a big disappointment to half of our party. The other half of the party were entirely happy.
