   Great food and staff are very attentive, will 100% be back. If we had to be picky some better background music would be nice.

   Save your money food was absolutely awful all frozen and tasteless no fresh vegetables as I left best part of it I’d say it was inedible my husband ate some of his but even he thought it was atrocious shouldn’t have paid really but felt sorry for the young girl who was left to deal with it. Manager offered free desert but I declined as main was so bad gave us free drink. Won’t be returning. Awful

   It was very quiet. Good value menu. However one of the mains came out cold and had to be returned. We were left to share the other main whilst we waited. Hard to understand why there was an issue with the food as there was hardly anyone in.

   Booked for Christmas Day and certainly didn’t disappoint- lovely ambience, staff amazing, food delicious and delivered to your table hot and timings in between main and deserts perfect. Definitely worth the price and wouldn’t hesitate to book again!

   Starters and mains were excellent , service was great up until then. They were very attentive and as soon as it got busy, they were resetting tables and looking after the new tables coming in so it felt like we were forgotten about, we had to go to the bar to order our coffees as nobody had been over for a while. This isn’t a criticism , it was a great meal and we’d definitely be back, it’s more of an observation that other guests might be upset about, we were happy to just be out and appreciate the staff giving up their Xmas day to look after us. It was busy and we had a great time so thank you for looking after us

   I had Christmas lunch (on my own). I had my choice of gluten free prawn cocktail starter, steak and chips with vegetables and a gluten free chocolate brownie dessert. Everything was delicious and perfect in every way possible. The chef cooked the steak exactly right. Service was great (no fuss) and the atmosphere for the day was great too - yes a few noisy children, but it was Christmas Day and actually it was quite nice having families! I have eaten in top restaurants around the world and I know my food and wine, and on balance (whilst not Michelin star - I wouldn’t’ve gone if it was) this was really very enjoyable. I had a lovely lunch and will go again. I went for a short walk along the river afterwards and it was just so pleasant. Thank you everyone so much.
