Although it was a busy Sunday lunchtime, from the moment we arrived to the time we left, the service was excellent. We ordered the roast beef and lamb with cauliflower cheese and it was all delicious. We had coffees and the affogato to finish which were all served promptly and did not disappoint. Would recommend highly and will return again very soon.

An outstanding lunch for our Anniversary. From the moment we arrived the visit became special, the staff attention to detail was a delight and the lunch tasting menu was perfect with the accompanying wine flight. The staff were amazing - never there until they were needed but attentive and efficient around every course,then they disappeared again! Wonderful. A perfect enue that has been a delight on every visit!
