Great ambience and good British food. Only suggestion would be that the kids courses were just too large. My 4 year old had 6 large chunky chicken bites, baked beans, french fires, and big bowl of pasta . That’s a lot of!!!! May be reduce the size of kids food.

The food is outstandingly delicious. We had the taster menus and were blown away at each and every course. Our two pet hates with fine dining is having two deserts and a service charge in excess of 10%. The tasting menus had one desert ✔️ and the service was 10%. So great all round. The restaurant has a lovely intimate feel to it and the staff are all very friendly. They didn’t stop once in the 3 hours we were there.
