    Well it's safe to say that it's definitely worth all the hype! After booking a good few months in advance we finally came down for our Christmas Sunday dinner! The staff there are super friendly and always checking in and cleaning tables, and the atmosphere was incredibly cosy! When the food came, the man was really lovely and explained where each piece of meat was before leaving us to enjoy. The food was unbelievable I have honestly never had food like it, especially a Sunday roast upto that standard! I have never had beef with such flavour, and the Pork was the best I have ever had. We where both too stuffed for dessert but wow was it great! My only nitpick is that my cocktail was tiny, but it was very strong. Personally I prefer my drinks a bit bigger and less strong but that's a preference! Overall it was the best roast I have ever had! Would definitely recommend!

    Underground was a mess and almost defeated two (west) country bumpkins and looked like we were going to be even later than the 15 min grace period but after a phone call, the nice person moved our booking slightly so we could keep our table. Thank you for that whoever you were :)

    First time visiting so not sure what to expect - excellent food and service with very helpful staff who explained everything. We thoroughly enjoyed our time and would return. Monday happy hour all day is a great incentive to visit there at the start of the week. Thanks for an enjoyable evening! 😀

    The room was too loud. Maybe you could consider acoustic panels on the walls or the ceiling to make the experience more enjoyable
