Menu is helpfully short and yet there was something to suit each of our eclectic group of 4. Service was kind, patient and friendly. We stayed long after our empty plates were removed as the atmosphere was very comfortable, background music not overpowering and we didn’t feel rushed. It was a really enjoyable experience and we look forward to returning.

We're locals & very glad that U8 is back as it was. The staff, service & food are equally great. Yep it's a little more expensive but no need for a taxi to get similar in the city centre, say. Delicious dinners out are a treat as opposed to every night & so a few extra bob & no washing up at home is more than worth it. Keep it up.

Would definitely recommend. Food exceeded expectations; the starter, gnocchi with lovage oil was very unusual and just gorgeous, mains excellent. Service attentive throughout. Only negative was a very limited selection of wine, reds were all quite similar, but overall had a really nice experience and will definitely visit again.
