   This has been a great find, as we often stay in the area. The food is excellent with fair sized portions. The staff are always helpful and friendly.

   Brunch menu unavailable. Then a couple of other dishes we wanted weren’t available. Service not outstanding - muddled drinks order etc. Shame as had a really good experience at another branch of theirs.

We’re glad you’ve had a positive experience at our other branch, and we’d love the opportunity to welcome you back and make things right. Best regards, Sarah

   Good service, nice space, decent food, but £3.80 for a 'side of roast tomatoes' where you're given one tomato cut in half, and a side of 'sausages' for £5.20 where you're given two sausages the size of a finger is truly disgusting.

   HI Dean, Thank you for your feedback. I’m glad to hear you were happy with the service and space, but I’m truly sorry that the portion sizes of the sides did not meet your expectations. We always aim for our dishes to reflect good value, and I apologise that this wasn’t your experience. Your comments are important, and we’ll review the menu to ensure clarity around portion sizes and pricing. We want all our guests to feel they’re receiving great value for their meal. I hope you’ll consider giving us another chance to provide a better experience next time. Best regards, Sarah

   We dined on Christmas Day. There was a preset menu. The service was outstanding. The food was varied and delicious. The portions were generous.

   A lovely way to spend Christmas lunch. We really enjoyed it as a family first.

   It was very nice but very rushed. Christmas dinner is not a sprint it is a marathon. By ignoring that concept they ruined what would have been a beautiful festive feast.

   Having decided on pizza it was disappointing to learn there were no pizzas.

   Really nice food all around. I was impressed with the flavour of the vegan pizza as vegan food can be bland. Big cocktail and wine menu so plenty to choose from

   Hi Jessica, Thank you for your lovely review! We’re so glad to hear you enjoyed the food, especially the vegan pizza, and that you found the cocktail and wine menu to your liking. We appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back soon for another great experience! Best, Sarah

    Starters were all good. Pizzas were not that nice. The sourdough base was a bit chewy and tough to cut. The NY strip was excellent, but not so much the minute steak. The cheesecake was not nice. The ice cream was good. Although I chose a middle range red wine, this was not nice. The ambient is very nice and so it is the service. However at £250 for 4 people, I was expecting better quality.

Your comments about the quality and value are important to us, and we’ll review these areas with our team to improve.
