Lovely lunch, food was delicious, especially the fruit skewers and chocolate dipping sauces. Staff extremely friendly - efficient but not obtrusive.

Lovely meal - great value - 2 courses £9.99 however was very disappointed to see had been charged 10.95 for 250 ml glass of wine ! Think that is a ridiculous price

Lovely lunch, food nice and service excellent as usual. Only reason for markdown on this occasion was the temperature in the dining room. Had to put our jackets back on as it was not warm enough.

Restaurant / bar was lovely, nice decor. However the food really let it down. Pasta was tasteless and meatballs were very dry. Partner asked for no lettuce or slaw on his burger but the burger came with just a bun and chicken, no butter or sauce- very dry. Salt and chilli chips had a strange sauce on them. Only thing really nice was the katsu chips which my partner had to add to his burger. Heard really good things about this place and was really disappointed, hopefully just an off night for the chef. Service was great though.

The food was very good. A bit disappointed that Rose wine was not included in the two mains & bottle of wine deal and perhaps this is something to consider as Rose wine is extremely popular.

It wasn't busy when we were in, we were looked after by Stewart all night, making sure we had everything we needed. The starters and main were excellent and we had a very good experience, we have been a good number of times and will always come back as we live quite local.

Fantastic winter deal on food. Really nice space to sit in for a meal. Service wasn’t really fast but it gave us the chance to sit and have a chat. Only marked down the quality of the food by one star as the steak pie could’ve been hotter but was still very tasty. This is one of my favourite places to go for a drink or meal just now. Highly recommended & I’ll definitely be back.
