    We couldn’t fault the food . Our only criticism is that we weren’t offered any coffee & we couldn’t choose off the Christmas menu as there was only 6 of us .

    Ate three courses from the Christmas menu. All dishes chosen by myself and my husband were well presented and imaginative. We look forward to our next visit.

    We came on Wednesday afternoon for lunch. The food on a whole was very good. The only thing that let one meal down was the lettuce was wet and sloppy in the peach salad, everything else was gorgeous. Great service, really friendly staff. I would definitely return and recommend others.

    Excellent experience. The food was first class, beautifully presented, great ingredients, and wonderful flavours. A chef at the top of his game. The wine pairing was also really good (if a little expensive at £70 per person for no more than a bottle of wine each), but it certainly adds to the overall experience. The waiters were courteous, friendly and knowledgeable. We spoke to Chef Jono as we left which was great to be able to share our thanks directly with him and talk about his restaurant. HIghly recommended and will return at some point.
