    It was my husband’s 60th birthday and we had booked the table back in November. I had emailed the restaurant asking if they could have a bottle of non alcoholic fizz to welcome us. I had forgotten to send a reminder - but I needn’t have worried! We were warmly welcomed by all the staff and the bottle cork was popped when we had sat down. Perfect! The food was delicious. Freshly cooked and beautifully presented on warm plates. Perfect. (It’s amazing how many restaurants serve food on a cold plate). It was our first visit and it certainly won’t be our last.

    A wonderful way to spend a wedding anniversary. We were treated really well by the staff, they all wished us a happy anniversary and we were given fizz on arrival and chocolate to finish. The food was delicious, will definitely be returning
