Food quality and service were very good. We were disappointed however, after ordering a bottle of still water we received a bottle of tap water which in which you could taste the chlorine. For this we were charged £3.50 + 10% which rather took the shine of the lunch experience.

A confirmed Open Table booking wasn’t recognised by the restaurant which caused some anxiety at first, particular as it was for a large group. However, the staff managed to pull together a table quickly and were very helpful and attentive.
