Absolutely the best Beef Wellington I’ve ever had ! Lovely service, lovely atmosphere and fantastic food. Only tiny negative is that it was a little on the chilly side but it was a wet Thursday night so probably not as busy as usual

We booked this on the off chance on a Saturday night and were certainly not disappointed. We received a warm welcome, and given time to review both drinks and food menus without any pressure. Our waiter was engaging, chatty but not overly. The food was outstanding, my Beef Cheek starter was as good as anything I’ve had, deep, rich, melt in the mouth and beautiful. The beef Wellington was also excellent and much more substantial that I was expecting. We were made to feel welcome and important without it being fussy. Not a single complaint, 10/10.

Overall disappointing experience as we expected much better from this venue. A few issues with the food: mushroom tart was a sliced raw mushroom. Fillet steak was tough with a cold sauce and mashed potatoes were lumpy and plain - no garlic and thyme as shown on menu. Service was good and the team did remove a beer and the potatoes from the bill. Other food was good particularly the duck and scallops. Lastly this restaurant applied an automatic 10% service charge on the bill for 4 diners which seems to be a growing annoying trend these days. Bottom line, based on our experience would I go back or recommend Saga the answer is a a disappointing no unfortunately - particularly as we are local and literally live around the corner.
