    Booked for festive lunch. Had 2 course, main and dessert. Lovely tasty food, beautifully cooked, generous servings. Thoroughly enjoyed. Waitresses were friendly and welcoming. Thoroughly enjoyed Only one thing we would suggest is that there is an option to request a smaller serving due to not everyone being able to eat a normal sized portion. My friend always feels embarrassed when she leaves at least 2\3rds of main course simply due to portion size.

    Sometimes you get what you pay for, yes price a little higher than your average restaurant but the quality of the food and service is excellent. If your looking for something a bit different and a real treat I can highly recommend giving this a try, we had the 3 course menu and every plate was delicious from start to finish, will definitely be returning 5*****.

    Love this place - from the cocktails to start with, to the petits fours with the coffee at the end. It’s all brilliant. AS well as the menu there is homemade bread and butter, canapés, soup. Great as well that we don’t need to drive.There’s a bus from Sheffield (x17) which takes you straight there so you can taste the cocktails and drink from the lovely wine list. Non-alcoholic cocktails brilliant too. There are separate vegetarian and vegan menus not just ‘vegetarian option’ added at the last minute. All in all a great meal out with high quality food at a reasonable price. Not cheap - but the quality is worth the spend.
