    My wife and I went along with a voucher for a Sunday roast and were not disappointed. We both had gazpacho to start which was so light and fresh - the perfect way to start a roast dinner meal. Followed up with roast beef, which we had pink although the choice of having it cooked through was offered, we enjoyed ours pink. A lovely plate of veg and perfect gravy accompanied it, and I followed up with some churros which were excellent. I can recommend the Camden pale ale and my wife really enjoyed the white Rioja. Overall we had a great time - the decor is lovely, we had a great booth table, and the background chatter was the perfect level to make you feel at home and fit in with the ambience yet still be able to hold your own conversation. We interacted with a number of staff but unfortunately I can't remember names but all of them were friendly and fun, happy to have a quick chat and always there to answer any questions. Service was perfectly paced so much that we ate a good amount of food yet still left without feeling stuffed - not often the case these days, but I was very impressed. I'd always looked at the prices and thought it was in the high side which maybe put me off a bit but having the voucher encouraged me to go and now I see that actually the prices are less off putting now I've had a positive experience there.

    We booked the balcony on a cold Thursday night. We arrived, the host placed us in view of the castle and turned the fire pit on for us and even gave us blankets! The food was outstanding. The service was outstanding. The price was very reasonable for such good food. The ambience of the place was brilliant. We’ll be going back!
