    Shared the lunch set menu with my wife and daughter so that we could each try as much of the menu as possible. We all loved it. We will be back!

    Very good. The only thing I would say is that £6 for the smallest quarter of cabbage is a bit much.

    Great experience from start to finish. Being able to have so many choices on the menu as a wheat free pescatarian was amazing. Our server was helpful and attentive.
