    Our server was Daniel, he said Happy Anniversary to us when we first sat down, which showed great attention to detail. He then asked if we wanted our anniversary treat at the beginning or the end of the meal, we chose the end. The food was phenomenal, we ordered the chateaubriand with a few sides and it was delicious. We then got sticky toffee pudding, which Daniel told us was on the house for our anniversary. Everything about the evening was perfect and we were not rushed from the table and ended up staying for 2 1/2 hours. This place is a go to for our special occasions as we can always guarantee amazing service and amazing food.

    Another amazing meal produced by Daniel and all the staff From being greeted at the door to paying the bill the whole experience is amazing. Everyone works so hard to make sure your experience is the best and the food and its presentation is out of this world with every meal being explained as it arrives from the kitchen. My advice would be to sit at the bar and watch the hard working staff prepare everything to perfection. We went with the set menu and when we were intrigued as to what was in the ingredients Chef took time to not only tell us but also show us the produce which is grown by them in Cheshire. Yes it can get expensive but what price do you pay for locally sourced produce served at this level and with so much dedication
