Wow, we’ve waited for a while to get into this establishment as we are visitors to the area, but it was worth the wait.
The service and food were excellent and I am struggling to find a fault. Both our meals surpassed our expectations and left us wanting more, to the extent that we booked straight back in for this evening.
Best meal we’ve had in the area and we’ve been visiting for at least 20 years.
Special thanks to the staff who sorted our booking as I made the mistake of booking the wrong time originally.
This place is a must for all food lovers.
Thanks

Amazing!! Staff were incredible!! Everyone one of them. Nothing too much bother. Food was awesome. Husband had steak and very rarely grades it at a 9, but his sirloin hit a 9! Most enjoyable and relaxing and lovely vibe throughout
