    The waiters were very attentive and the service was quick. There was no loud background music (which was good!) and the Christmas decorations were tasteful and not overwhelming.

    The Tasting Menu was superb, top quality food and good, non intrusive Service. Wine list is huge, but expect to pay quite a lot for even fairly modest wine, still and sparkling. You should also know that because of the quality and high standard, expect that be reflected in the price. This is not a gastro-pub…. It’s much, much more than that.

    Fabulous Sunday Roast & service our only problem was our table was right next to the door to the outside garden which was constantly being open With people going out for a cigarette, in future I’ll Book by calling & not using this apt as it doesn’t give you the option of where you would like your table ( if possible not by the back door ).
