    We’ve eaten here twice now in the past two months , once for birthday and secondly for anniversary. Both times the service and food have been exceptional. Staff are very polite and very diligent in their role at the bank. We ate in the main part the first visit and first thing we noticed was no loud music drowning conversation, hate having to shout across a table whilst eating a meal to be heard. We had a pod on our anniversary and it was lovely and warm and cosy for 2. The atmosphere is lovely along with the decor. We have tried different tapas on both visits and everything was tasty and well presented . Definitely recommend eating here and it is now our favourite place to eat .

    Lovely place good food and staff but it was too cold didn’t take my coat off and the food went cold very quickly which spoiled it as it was a special celebration

    Absolutely no complaints. Really good food. Great service. Alcohol free sangria was a real touch to cater for the designated driver. Excellent all round.

    Always great food and service, only negative I can think of is that the fantastic whitebait was no longer on the menu!
