   My only bad thing noted of the night was the slow and unconfident service issues that lies with the many employed younger staff. It appeared they constantly needed direction from older staff and this was noticeable to other diners too in getting their attention (looking over, then turning and going in the opposite direction!) As the night went along though, some finally did get rid of their nervous start and were keen to engage with diners. However… we laughed this off as ‘everyone has to start somewhere’. The main thing here is the food and it lived up to our expectations. The delicious and flavourful servings of each of the many dishes we ordered from the ample menu were colourful and a memorable experience. A great night as a whole and I and my wife agreed that we will revisit to try some of the other dishes soon.

   Staff were friendly but had to wait a long time to catch someone . Restaurant has an appealing decor . Noisy young guests for a while until they left and much quieter . Smallish portions of food and cocktails and very overpriced .

   Brilliant service. Enjoyed the food , would probably do better making the venue a restaurant and do away with the pub .
