    Really lovely, cosy comfortable place to chill, chat and eat delicious freshly made food. I think this might be one of my fave in the area as it’s not at all pretentious.

    Firstly it has an open feel, one end is glazed and there are windows dotted along the side. The acoustics are good, due to the vaulted ceiling. The food was very good, freshly prepared. Both me and my guest will be back!

    Took over an hours wait for two breakfast baps. Ran out of mushrooms and taters tots, so couldn’t have this as the additional side or with full English. Not enough staff on for a busy restaurant. Too many people rammed into a small area, couldn’t look at the fresh products to buy as tables were placed beside or in front of fridges

    Yum. Delicious pizza. Super friendly staff. Quiet when we arrived but busy by the time we left. We love pizza night, just a bit expensive.

    I would like to give a higher overall rating but a couple of really important details let the whole evening down. Firstly, we weren’t made aware (until it was too late) of the limitations of their liquor license which prevents selling beyond 8.15pm. And were only offered an opportunity to order a drink at the very beginning - so one was all we had. The other was the closing time which for a Friday was disappointingly early. I think we were shuffled out at 9.30pm and left wanting! Lovely ambience, and we (4 of us) enjoyed the pizzas. Service staff were very nice but inattentive. Early communication either at the time of booking or upon arrival would have been enough to improve our overall impression but sadly we’re unlikely to return.

    The food was amazing!! The beef wellington did not disappoint and my son didn’t stop talking about how nice it was all the way home. The staff were friendly and accommodating.
