Went for Valentine's Day dinner and we ordered the set menu. The garden spritz drink was absolutely delicious and we thoroughly enjoyed every mouthful of the food. Highlight for us was the brocollini, the chicken and meat skewers were tender. If I could comment on two things it was very loud and the service was a little slow;

Happyfield was my first choice for my birthday breakfast! It was clean, the styling is great, staff are friendly and the food is delicious! The staff sang happy birthday to me and gave me a cookie, which was so nice of them! We had a great time.
