We had previously been to The Nook and had a lovely meal, nice atmosphere with a pianist and had a lovely time. This time the pianist was drowned by the diners. Our table of 2 was sat alongside a party of 8 and a party of 12, who were have a lovely time, but were talking over each other loudly and were well lubricated. This was not an ideal positioning for a table for 2 to have a nice meal and a conversation over drinks. The amount of glass in the restaurant does not act as a sound proofer to this level of noise. Might pop in for a drink but not a meal.

Lovely venue but experience underwhelming . Limited menu, slow service and food average. Although the staff were polite and pleasant, requests for bread at the table and condiments were either too late arriving or did not happen. Disappointing.

Overall it was lovely. It was a shame that we couldn't eat outside on the rooftop as it was drinks only despite asking to sit outside if weather allowed on my booking. Fruit scone had 2 pieces of fruit in but was warm and yummy. The food was great although my personal preference would be to have more savoury as we couldn't eat all the sweet bits! Would definitely go back!
