Such a lovely evening! The food was just incredible, particularly the venison tartare, pork loin and beef cheek. Just amazing. Such lovely staff who were always ready to help and even treated us to a complimentary pudding for our special occasion! The Guinness was also a major highlight. Huge fun sitting near the bar upstairs and watching the cooks create everything. Can’t wait to come back again, thank you for looking after us so brilliantly!

A lovely meal with an old friend, on the balcony. Good service - very wide menu, and we went for the winter options (basically German sausage and mashed potato, with mustard). Beautiful building (listed Grade 2). My friend had to dash northwards so it is well placed for the railway.
