The service was friendly and efficient from start to finish. The standard of food was amongst the best I’ve ever experienced - it’s innovative, tasty and satisfying. Go there if you can.

Chef James has transformed this little corner pub into a gastro extravaganza. NYE was a Michelin Star menu with plate after plate of unexpected bites offering nuanced, thoughtful flavor profiles. Never have I experienced food in a pub this sophisticated and inspired.

Great NYE experience. This is a new restaurant and all went without a hitch - lovely efficient and friendly service. The food was overall delicious. Five course tasting menu with a complimentary glass of English Sparkling wine.

2nd visit in a week. Even better nearer the kitchen. Food choice is excellent. A few rowdy diners but everything was great. Think this place will do very well

The food is excellent - really tasty and perfectly proportioned. Service was also brilliant - good relaxed atmosphere. The menu is heavy on meat and then fish but there is just about enough for a veggie in the party - would heartily recommend.
