    Lovely evening with friends. Service was great and given by friendly and competent staff. Steak was cooked just as I asked it to be. Portion sizes were decent. All in all, very happy, thank you! We’ll be back for Sunday lunch next…

    This was our 3rd visit since Christmas. We are not locals, it takes us 45 minutes to get there but it is 100% worth it. The staff are great, they are attentive but not over the top, your wine glass is never empty. We first took our Grandchildren for lunch just before Christmas, they live in Abridge so a great discovery for us, we then took friends in January and family in February, everyone has really enjoyed the experience and will all go back. The food has always been amazing. This is a gem of a place.
