    Delicious food which was beautifully presented, generous portions and stunning decor! Staff are so warming and welcoming. We went for a team Christmas lunch and everyone loved it. Great value for money. Highly recommend and will definitely be back

    Oh where to begin! We were really excited about visiting here as we had only heard good things. When we arrived at 6:30 for our res (to have the festive menu) we had noticed that our table was missing Christmas crackers when all the other tables had them, no biggie it’s not the end of the world. The cocktails we got were fab, however it went downhill after the starter. The starter took a wee while to come out but we appreciated it’s busy due to Christmas, however after the starter it took them almost an hour to bring out the main. We were watching other people getting food while we were just growing unimpressed. When the main finally came out, the food was warm and lacklustre. It was now around 8:15pm. There was a server who appeared to be looking at the tables to see where new reservations would be seated, they seemed confused because we were still at our table. Validly so because we were meant to give our table back at 8 but we hadn’t received our main till after this time. Our other server was lovely but she just kept disappearing for long periods of time. The deserts came out a bit faster, however by the time we left we had been then for 2 hours and 20 minutes. Won’t be back and won’t be recommending to friends.

    Very good Christmas menu. We were impressed by the tiramisu. Unfortunately there are deductions for the ambience. It was super loud in the restaurant, you really had to shout at each other... 😅 Unfortunately, the food only arrived warmed up (rather cold) and was sent back. We were then served hot food and a coffee on the house. Food was okay.
