Our experience today was beautiful, I booked it as a special gift for my husbands birthday and 2 members of my family for a Christmas present. We thought it was something special and the service was exceptional. Thank you so much. You made it very special for all of us. Regards Julie Harwood

Every thing about our night out was great until they brought the bill...i know things have a service charge but to stand there and say you don't have to pay it if you dont want kinda puts you on the spot a bit ,but our service charge was £7 (which i didnt pay by the way ) as£7 pounds for carring 2 plates is a bit high and if service charge wasnt on the bill we would have left a tip at our discretion...as we are pensioners and i felt for the group of8 students opposite whose bill was over £200 pound making that £20...im just glad we did not order a bottle of champagne at £100 as that would have been another £10for carring it to the table .......bit naughty Lucias

Had a lovely meal on a cold Tuesday evening. It was very quiet in the pub but the food and service was excellent. We have been a couple of times recently and it has been excellent. Will definitely return.

We were treated to afternoon tea. A gift voucher from our son and new daughter in law. Not that we had paid I thought the price of the afternoon tea for what we got was rather expensive. Not a price I would have paid. The tea was quite nice, my wife had a pot of tea and I ordered coffee. On the menu it stated a pot of coffee. All I got was a cup of coffee. The staff were very friendly, but didn’t come to ask if everything was ok. It was a nice experience but having had afternoon tea in other places it was expensive compared to other venues.

Lovely charming and quirky old building, Friendly, attentive and knowledgeable staff and the food that came out of Adam Jackson’s kitchen was amazing, from the very well thought out and incredibly executed 9 course tasting menu to the beautiful breakfast. I couldn’t fault anything. Also the chef’s counter where Adam and his chef’s plate up dishes and chat to you is a lovely personable idea
