    A great variety of food suiting all the party - vegetarians, pescatarians, meat eaters, low carbs, adventurous 3 year old. The small plates are not that small, so the 3 for £18 offer with some bread and nibbles is more than adequate for everyone. We couldn't manage pudding. It was very quiet but hardly surprising for an early weekday lunch in February - and an advantage with 2 small children.
