    Food is good and the pub is cozy with quirky decor. But it’s on the pricey side compared to other gastro pubs. The service is attentive and so I’d say it’s somewhere for a special occasion.

    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.
