    Great service from lovely staff. Food was poor, sent two of the three main courses back. The cauliflower steak was nothing like and was burnt , the belly pork was burnt too and looked for like the sole of a flip flop . This restaurant does not rely on repeat custom

    Lovely servcie and good as always. The industrial nature of the space can mean it’s hard to hear but still a great place all the same.

    The food is definitely in the pricier side. However after our food we were sat at a small bar bit by the stairs and there were open candles, my hair caught in it and went up :( none of the staff noticed. On such a small surface I don’t think there should be open flames because of loose hair and people wear baggy clothing that could easily catch in it.

    Great for lunch, good value and delicious. Convenient location for many theatres and good ambiance, even at a quiet time of day.
