    Food was ok. Having had Sunday lunch here previously I was impressed, unfortunately not so this time. Service poor and slow. A disappointing experience I am sorry to say.

    Food was really nice & huge portions. The wine we chose was not really to our liking & staff came across & happily swapped it free of charge - very touching they did this it made our afternoon

    Restaurant is nicely decorated although fairly dark. It was busy and loud when I attended due to Christmas get togethers. Great menu and priced accordingly. Service wasn’t as great as it could have been. It was evident that the staff were struggling with the increase in demand. We were sat for some time before any drinks orders were taken and then there were several issues: server hadn’t written down the order correctly, the manager came to clarify but then we received 2 glasses of one wine and a bottle of the other when we only wanted a glass. Meal was delivered quickly and was very tasty, hot and excellent standard. Bill was incorrect - earlier mistakes had been added on (ie bottle of wine & extra glass) this was swiftly rectified when highlighted. Overall, very good but service let it down considerably.

    Lovely restaurant we have eaten here before. Only thing was we had a lovely table by the window but it was cold sitting there a lot of draughty through window. We also had the rice pudding which was delicious last time but this time it was undercooked and cold

    Enjoyed our first visit here. Great food,, service and ambience. Perhaps a little more light would be good - diners at the next table were using their phone torches to read the menu.
