    Home baked sourdough with smoked butter is an old favourite but I was not expecting the celeriac soup to be that good (SO good). Absolute heaven with the beetroot salad with whipped goat cheese and roasted hazelnuts. And the lovely lovely staff!!

    Really very good burgers for lunch. Practically still sizzling on arrival and the beef was so rich and flavoursome. I really liked the chili jam and whatever was done to the brioche buns made them delicious. Staff, as always, absolutely lovely. Attentive and kind.

    I’m so obsessed with the beetroot and goat’s cheese starter. It’s so beautiful and all the flavours and textures are wonderful together.

    Delightful experience in a lovely space with attentive staff. The salmon starter for lunch was good but the black pudding was excellent: balanced, rich flavours and textures, all very skilfully presented. The vegetables with the mains were especially well thought out and executed - the venison and ox cheek superb, tender with a real depth of flavour. The cod gratin main was luminous and the warm vegetarian option of the beetroot with greens and a goat cheese mousse with toasted almonds was a particular joy. Very good chocolate tart with stewed pear, ice cream on a crumb. This was a great combination of flavours and textures, though my preference would have been for more of a ganache than a mousse consistency. There is so much attention to detail in every element of the meal, down to the type of pastry chosen for the case of the chocolate tart. Excellent for a special occasion. If you’re on a budget, go for lunch rather than dinner as it is (very rightly) expensive.
