The internal decor is lovely. Great seating areas and spaces.
We came for my birthday lunch. The menus are quite simple in ways. Choice of ie, chicken, fish, steak ( although I didn’t see pork). The cocktails were ok. I couldn’t drink the fancy margarita on the menu with jalepeno in due to having a throat operation a month ago. waiting staff advised me to try and if I didn’t like could change. I tried, was too painful. I asked if they had a regular margarita, which they did and I was asked if I wanted the same Mezcal in the cocktail as previous. Fine I said. Until afterward on paying the bill it seemed that this cost in total £19! The other one cost £13. I was a little perplexed by this as I understood it was just a basic with not dissimilar ingredient added. It seems they had included a £7 extra for the Mezcal on to the £12 cocktail. Thankfully they took off the £7 charge but it’s not an approach I like in terms of adding extra for types of tequila etc, which was not clear at beginning. The chicken in pastry I think needed a different sauce- perhaps more gravy as opposed to white wine and oil. It feels like it would’ve cut through the pastry and chicken porcini better. The sides: greens very little but tasty and mash Potatoe - very nice! For dessert the cherry chocolate style, plays homage to a 70’s/80’s favourite. It was too sweet and very creamy but a good size. The manager was great. We wanted to order another drink after dinner and was told our table was to be used. As we were leaving the I asked the manager if there was a place to sit for drinks, he worked it out and we enjoyed a Prosecco and my friends took another cocktail.
My only disappointment and I have fed this back to the manger is that my sister who is a coeliac and works in hospitality could barely eat anything on the menu. She was disappointed. The pasta she thought was a corn version - not great due to texture she suggests Rice pasta instead. The starter she could have was salmon by itself.
