    A lovely host. Beautiful cuisine. Nothing was too much trouble. We very much enjoyed our beautiful early Christmas lunch celebrating with family. Couldn’t have asked for more. Thanks so much. Devine.

    Food and service was excellent, as always. Some very very loud tables which made it a bit too noisy for our liking.
