I went for lunch with my daughter. There was a two course set menu which was reasonably priced, however we chose to go a la carte. All in, lunch came to £100, which was for two starters , two mains, an additional starter which we shared, 2 pints of Guiness and a coke. There was a 10% service charge. Service was attentive yet uninvasive. Menu options were great. Food was delicious and portion size was just right. I look forward to returning again soon.

Had Sunday lunch. The waiting staff were attentive but not intrusive. The service was prompt with plenty of choice on the menu. The experience was enhanced with a quiet ambience.... especially with the real fires roaring. What better place could you spend a cold Sunday afternoon?
