    Lovely setting, but it's very expensive for what it is - the food is good but not amazing.

    We went there for a birthday treat and both had lovely meals. There was a good choice of vegan food and everything was cooked to perfection. The service was excellent, the leather bench seats most comfortable and the food was presented in a non-fussy way. Thoroughly recommend it.
