What a lovely evening, from the friendly greeting to our fond farewell it was start to finish gorgeous. Aura our waitress was friendly, fun efficient and had excellent recommendations. We had a beautiful table under the tree. The yuck sung was so tasty followed by two very different and equally tastychicken main courses. Generous portions full of flavour. We both had desserts (because January doesn’t have to be all doom and gloom) great music, lovely buzzy atmosphere and staff that really made the night. From both of us thank you for an outstanding evening
