    First time I've been there in ages! I think the dining room itself has become more organised and comfortable! Staff and food lovely and moderately busy for a Tuesday evening too.

    Didn't have the wine we wanted from the menu. One order was missed so one paety member had to wait 10 mins whilst we all ate. Quite long gaps between staff attention to us. We weren't reminded that they closed at 9pm promptly, so was too late to order deserts, and the coffee machine had been turned off, so no coffees either. A disappointing end to a happy evening. Inexperienced (?) staff require better customer contact and awareness training.

    Indifferent service despite it being quiet and two people work long waits , unhelpful, unapologetic about spill and poor wine with dregs from bottom of bottle . Felt like we were inconveniencing them being in there
