   The 2nd time I have eaten here and I think that it was even better if that's possible. The attention to detail and culinary masterpieces produced were truly excellent. I wish you every success in your next venture and hope that I can find you to enjoy your superb food once again. Thank you

   The food and service were Michelin-quality; however, the restaurant ambience was not great ; it felt a bit like being in a hall.

    We had the 3 course set lunch menu which was both innovative and of high quality. The chef Paul Welburn has never been afraid of experimenting, and often tries out dishes for the tasting menu on the set menu first. Therefore for an excellent price of £35 plus service the ingredients and cooking are first class, and usually new to the recipient. Our starter was ox cheek cake with a blackberry sauce, wonderfully tasty and the densely packed meat was plentiful even if the volume looked small. The monkfish main was delightfully cooked in a tasty prawn and potato chowder with smoked leeks and sea beets. The dessert a refreshing lemon infused soft meringue with honey and whiskey. We will miss the chef when he moves to Cornwall in March but understand his sous chef of 14 years is taking over.
