    Excellent food, beautiful old space, good service. Only slight grumble is two dishes came with appropriate vegetables but two you had to choose vegetables as extra sides but prices were much the same. Would have been nice to have vegtables included with all dishes perhaps with an option of which to have.

    Ate at the Opposition for a pre-theatre meal and received a warm welcome by staff. Cosy and relaxed atmosphere with very attentive staff. Food was delicious and very good value on the fixed price menu. A very enjoyable meal.
