At first when I was looking for the restaurant I thought it was a bit strange it was in the middle of a park, but once you get there it's a cosy environment, and the staff are lovely. There's a board with the menu most the dishes seem to be shared dishes we got one starter the scallops this dish was superb in everyway. Then the mains and the portion is large we went for the duck it can out in 2 different ways and both appealing to the mouth. I would definitely come back here the food is worth while as well as the ambience.

A delicious meal in lovely surroundings. The staff were very attentive and paid particular attention to the fact that my husband is a Coeliac and required gluten free food. Our first visit to the Chislehurst branch. We will be back!
