Once again this restaurant fails to disappointment, fantastic tasting food, new flavours and food types. I'm not a cheese fan per sė bur the stinking bishop canapés were a delight. Eel was a revelation and to top it all, the wine selection was perfect, accompanying the food and also the food bringing the flavours of the wine to the fore. See you again in 2025 Alan and Ginny

My partner & I had a wonderful lunch with you. The amuse bouches were amazing. The 6 course tasting menu with wine pairing was all perfect and pure Michelin star standard. Alice & Matt gave us very good attentive service. Thank you for a memorable experience, Helen & John. Duncan

My wife and I had the 8 course menus with accompanying wine pairing. Both the food and wine were excellent as was the service & ambiance. We were expecting something special from a Michelin starred restaurant and certainly got it ! We will definitely return

We had the six course set menu. Beautifully presented but three of our party were underwhelmed by the flavours. It is an expensive evening out and frankly not our best experience of late. Excellent service.
