    Lovely evening with friends. Service was great and given by friendly and competent staff. Steak was cooked just as I asked it to be. Portion sizes were decent. All in all, very happy, thank you! We’ll be back for Sunday lunch next…

    The best dinner in ages. Every course was delicious. The Parmesan butter with the sourdough, I could have eaten that for seconds. The lasagne lived up to the hype, the garlic bun was crisp and so garlicky and rocket salad was simple but the perfect side. Yum. I hate tiramisu but decided to try it and I’m so glad I did as it was perfect along with the chocolate sorbet. Loved the little venue and the staff were all welcoming. Wished the deli was open when we came as I’d definitely have been taking some bits home with us.
