    Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

    Definitely one of the best roast dinners around! I had booked this over 6months in advance due to it being so busy and it was worth the wait. The pub has a really good vibe, the food was outstanding. The staff who were behind the bar and who also served us at our table were very lovely. I will definitely return and highly recommend this place.

    Waitresses were very good at their job. The steak was under seasoned in my opinion and lacked luster. The negronis were pre mixed and not quite balanced. The wine was excellent.

    A really pleasant dining experience with the welcome and ambience within the main bar area preparing you for the fine dining experience on the first floor. The staff were attentive and friendly and the food amazing. Compliments to the Chefs was given personally due to thier proximity to the dining area.

    Limited selection of food available. The sirloin steak we chose was well cooked and OK. We have had better though for less. The crispy pink potatoes were quite dry and the broccolini portion quite small - not enough to share between two. No Coke Zero was available and the Diet Coke alternative was the mixer bottle size (200 ml) which few places now serve and always seems a rip off when charged for a full size drink. The venue itself was very busy so obviously popular. It was very noisy though with customers competing with the noise from the open kitchen. All in all the meal was ok but expensive - the staff were very attentive and earned the 12.5% service charge which is automatically charged.
