The experience reminds me of a traditional Italian trattoria in a city neighbourhood. There was a good mix of regulars and city visitors which added to the cosy ambience. The furnishings and decor were a good blend of traditional and contemporary with subtle lighting. The staff were professional, welcoming and knowledgeable about the food and wine. The value for money on the set lunch menu was astonishing. The food was traditional, with a good choice and quality and well cooked and presented.

The best roast. We had the beef roast and the vegan one. Both great. Vegan gravy goes well with the beef. Staff were very friendly and super accommodating.

Good food and great service. A service charge is added automatically but you are asked if you want it removed. I was with my partner where we spent £101 on 5 cocktails 2 mains and 2 sides which I guess is ok these days. We had the table for 90 minutes which was just about enough time to be relaxed.
