    Booked to celebrate my birthday with friends, in the reserve did not say that I had only 2h30 knew when arriving at the site. The guy who met us was not nice and told us several times that we only had 2h reserve, I know that was complying with the rules of the house but I was attended by other people who were much better in explanations, said that it was mandatory to pay the service fee we questioned for poor service. In the end, when we asked about the last orders (drinks) she said that already was coming, followed with the closing of the account in a rude way.

    Had a team night out. Good value pub food, great an attentive service. Fast service and everyone got there food approximately same time, good for a group of 10. Fairly quiet. Loved the fact there was not 90db music streaming on speakers, there are so few pubs nowadays where you can actually hold a conversation. Would go again!

    This restaurant is above a very noisy bar in the temple bar area, however the noise level was manageable in the restaurant. It’s dimly light and warm. The menu wasn’t large but the quality of both our food dishes was beautiful. The curry was one of the nicest I have tasted.
