Was expecting a little more, more of what? I’m not sure. Felt like a college bar but staff worked hard and the music was wonderful.

Food was very well cooked but a bit expensive for what is essentially a pub menu and experience, the live music is the real bonus here! We both had a starter and a main with one bottle of wine and it came too £85!
