On arrival, a very stylish lady called Monica led us to our table and with great warmth said I understand it is someone’s birthday and can I pour you a glass of champagne. That was it - instantly myself and my guest felt welcome, special and very happy to be there! I had stated in my booking it was for a birthday but I was still highly impressed with that immediate attention to detail. It set the tone brilliantly and it really made my day. Our original waitress was excellent too - very on the ball though unfortunately I did not get her name. We had a fabulous lunch, great food and a lively, fun atmosphere. The staff are generally very good here but a special thanks to Monica who is excellent at her job. I will most definitely be back and soon.

The atmosphere was so nice. I went on a date on a Tuesday and had the 2-4-1 stakes which were cooks perfectly. The only downside is it has to be the same stake but I didn’t really nice. We had 2 rump stakes and some bread and butter which only came to £30 I would definitely recommend coming on a Tuesday.
