    Service not great, 2 large parties in so would expect abit slower but very slow and not enough staff for this. Festive menu not very festive. Starters very basic and average at best. Mains were not good, had to send food back due to being cold then were again average at best. These were deducted from our bill. Left still hungry and will not be returning.

    Honestly loved the food and ambience. Staff were very kind, helpful and generous. My husband wanted changed to the menu and this was done. I had food from the Christmas menu and it was amazing and the vegan chocolate orange cheesecake desert was amazing.

    The court house is a really nice & busy place, food was lovely and hot, service great BUT at the time we were eating at 5:30 - 6:00 the thump, thump, thump of the loud music was very off putting and didn’t make for a relaxing time and not sure at that time you need that much loud music.

    Absolutely loved our night here. Despite it being not as busy, the energy was still high and everyone was having a good night. The servers were absolute gems and respectful. They had the patience of saints when having to deal with me and my friends. The food was beyond amazing!. I couldn't have asked for a more wonderful night. Will defo be back again!!

    Last night was a bit disappointing tbh. We got there a tiny bit early, ordered a drink after 15-20 minutes of being sat down. Then waited another 35 minutes for it to be brought to us. I had to ask where they were and then when 2 were brought over I had to ask again where the other 2 drinks were as there was 4 of us which took another 10 minutes to be brought over. The food tasted great as usual even though it was a bit cold but unfortunately the service we received lacked slightly. We will be coming back eventually so hopefully it will be a better experience next time.
