Like the Fox & Grapes: good choices on menu and drinks. Venue good. Bit pricey. Not full today but quite noisy with those there.

The staff are all friendly but very professional. The head sommelier gave some wonderful wine recommendations. The food was all completely delicious. One point to note is that most of the starters include some shellfish which limited the choice for my wife who is allergic to shellfish. We were served 3 delicious hors d’oeuvres at the start and 3 petit fours after dessert (and offered satsumas at the very end which was a nice festive treat). So quite a bit of extra food too.
