Incredible high quality food and a very relaxed dining experience (we sat in the winter garden heated seats and didn’t get cold). Staff were great, attentive but not crowding. Would highly recommend. I had the confit duck and potatoes.

Having sorted a table for 10 before the lunch, we were settled into a good table away from others at the rear of the restaurant. We had to wait maybe an hour for our starters but we’re enjoying ourselves with drinks. The starters were tasty and the main courses all enjoyed. The Vegan offering was odd as our one vegan thought her meal had pork in it. The staff consistently denied it and said mushrooms became like meat in the recipe. We accepted this as didn’t want a “situation”. The cost was reasonable and we had a memorable reunion overall fine.
