    We went The Office for our holiday team lunch. The food was great and due to the season, it was noisier than my previous visit. We shared some appetizers - highly recommend the guacamole! I tried the chicken club which was delicious. I didn’t have room for dessert but the team shared the sticky toffee pudding, which was a hit. Definitely going back to try a few other things on the menu.
