    It was a wonderful evening and the food and service fantastic . The only disappointment came from my 18 yo daughter , her friend and my son who is older were ID checked and because they didn’t have their passports or any ID with them , they were refused wine with their meal and any drinks which slightly changed the celebratory occasion. We don’t normally drink but on a special night out we would not have expected to have this to have been refused. I belive that they should tell diners when booking g that without ID they will be refused alcohol . Never has this ever happened before in my life time of dining out with my family. I am 56 and my husband 66 so it was a shock.

    We were a group of 5 family members. We opted to share a baked Camembert, followed by a beef roast dinner (Sunday). The whole experience was great: staff, quality of food, presentation, wine, ambience. We all enjoyed a fantastic meal and would definitely recommend.

    The food was lovely … we were celebrating my daughter’s degree qualification as a family. It was great- no one else there, nice food and expected prices- no surprise there. The waiter was really cool but was a ‘constant’ talking and engaging with us repeatedly. Could do with knowing when to talk and when to stay distant. Lovely man though - I just felt he wanted to join in all the time?

    Honest food , full of flavour and super service. So many places try to be something that they are not nowadays it is refreshing to find a gem like this. We have been to Coco (New name) a couple of times now and will go back again!
