Excellent roasts as usual, fantastic service from a lovely young team of happy servers - what a difference that makes! Wonderful music from Kevin Richard’s which added to the ambience. Can’t wait to come back.

Wr are usually very happy with the courtyard which is why we come back. Wr always eat there for valentines too
But this time we felt our mains were not worth the price. The chicken I expected to be breast and wasn't also wasn't much there. I had to pick about with it my partner ordered veal which wasn't the taste of veal and could have been beef. Apart from a slight hiccup with the drinks where we ordered but by the end of the meal they hadn't arrived but was still on the bill. I can understand it was a busy night though and these things happen. Otherwise we enjoyed the evening. There also wasnt the choice for dairy free as there is usually so we didnt have a sweet. sadly think the prices for what you get now is not great.

Nice welcome
Quick to take drinks orders and food orders
Food was pretty good although my soup was only lukewarm
Think a lot of the menu is very overpriced now despite quality being a little less good
Service was fine
