About this restaurant

Good for special occasions
Good for groups
Great for creative cocktails

As well as intimate and cosy meals for couples or small groups, we are also a noted venue for group bookings, including cocktail classes, birthdays, hen parties, and weddings - all of which may be combined with a two/three-course meal, buffet, or something more bespoke. Once a month we host the Oliver's bottomless brunch, with option to upgrade to bottomless cocktails. These are always popular and we recommend booking well in advance.

For any bookings over 20 people we are happy to open our restaurant on a Monday - Wednesday - Please contact us direct for more information.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar and dance floor area turns into a club setting from 9pm - please consider this when booking late tables in the restaurant.

We had a great midweek dinner with friends out. We had a fillet of steak. It was a good size and cooked exactly as asked for. Great service, too, and value for money, as we brought the high-priced food offer.

We sat in the smaller room and as it wasn't so busy had the room to ourselves, we were there for a family birthday so it was a nice touch and The service from the staff was excellent. The food was good, the garlic chilli prawns, pork belly and camembert were all really nice, fillet steak was a little overcooked than i asked but was still ok, the mash and vine tomatoes that came with it were lovely, others had pork belly and lamb chops and thoroughly enjoyed them and the desserts were ok too. Overall good experience here and would definitely visit again
