Lovely lunch to celebrate my husband’s birthday. Great food, lovely friendly service. We had the roast dinner (vegan option) and it was so tasty and well cooked. We followed this with desserts - which were also excellent - chocolate genache and Lemon posset. House red (Malbec) was very good according to the drinkers. This is a lovely chilled restaurant serving high quality food and offering great service. We felt welcomed and looked after. We will return.

We really enjoyed High Dive. The food was gorgeous, but I just wished the portion was a bit bigger! We were the only table in there so it was a bit quiet, but that is not the fault of the restaurant. The staff were great and the decor is lovely - I would recommend it and I would love to go back!
