    Absolutely incredible. Eaten here a few times before and it's always been exeptional! It's usually a special occasion type of place to eat due to the price point but it's a lovely place and definitely worth the cost. Pub has a lovely lively atmosphere and the food is delicious 😋. Staff are super friendly and accommodating. Our table wasn't quite ready so we had a drink in the bar first which we didn't mind at all. Would easily recommend to anyone who's looking for epic pub food with a bit of a more gastro high end feel. Amazing place and will definitely visit again.

    This is a place where hospitality is done to the highest standard and you are made to feel special. The food is of the highest quality, even adapting to meet a garlic intolerance. The only criticism is they wasn’t a jus made without garlic to go with the Yorkshire pudding The food though was cooked to perfection, served with care and plated with care. Nothing you can fault at all with this restaurant - space between the tables allowed you to speak but made you feel you were in a private space whilst in an open restaurant

    Dinner was perfect & desert was just gorgeous. Deserts a little expensive but worth it, good to share! Service was great, the waiter was really very helpful when I was awkward & asked for something I’d seen online but not on today’s menu. We would definitely dine in the restaurant again, which was candle lit with soft music. We then took drinks into the cozy lounge where my husband kindly won at dominoes.
