    I was a bit of a fussy guest! I didn’t like the first table I was offered and asked for a better one which I got ( my only complaint about the whole experience is that my friend and I shouldn’t have been seated next to a group of men spilling over into our space in the first place) After moving everything was perfect. I had booked using the wrong offer code but the manager and staff couldn’t have been more helpful in changing my booking around to honour the half price bottle of wine offer. Alex our waiter was lovely and attentive, as was everyone else we came into contact with. The 1917 menu was great value, and the signature shepherds pie one of the best I’ve tasted. Alex’s endorsement of the quality of the red wine gravy was spot on! Thank you.

    Great experience all round but the service was exceptional!! The menu changes daily, but I think there are always lots of plant based options. If the Jerusalem artichoke, onion & raclette dish is on the menu, this is a fantastic riff on traditional Swiss raclette! Loved the concept of shared tables, plates to share, good and reasonably priced wine list.
