    We booked our table very early at 11:45 and we're the first ones in so could see the interiors and how they are laid out. Service was excellent, we had the festive tasting menu for 2, there was so much food, we struggled to get through it and left some. We took our puddings away in a box. Be prepared excludig alcohol to pay £75 - £100 per head for an epic experience. Would definitely go back. I took my daughter for her birthday as she wanted to go and it was fantastic.

    Quality Wines by name and by nature - interesting off-beat wines, not cheap, but well worth exploring, and very knowledgeable staff to help you select. Can’t wait to return and explore more of the list! Food is tapas-style, great for sharing, narrow but interesting and entirely adequate selection, and absolutely superbly prepared and presented. Given how busy it was, those chefs did an amazing job. Well done! Staff are all young, energetic, knowledgeable and eager to help. Full marks. Well done!
