We had a delicious lunch from the Christmas menu. All four of us enjoyed the soup (you cannot beat soup as a starter at Number 16 - I’ve not had a poor one yet!) and turkey with all the trimmings. Our meals were rounded off with 2 x cheese, a chocolate pave and a coconut panna cotta. Again, all were delicious. Staff were great, as always, and the atmosphere was lively with all diners sporting their hats from the Christmas crackers. A fabulous, family lunch!

Menu is an interesting mix of choices. Food was fantastic - very tasty. VFM. Staff very attentive. only criticism side came to the table after we had finished our main plates (not charged so dealt with without asking) I guess that’s the issue with the small plates format. Highly recommend.
