Such a great restaurant with excellent quality food. However this time we ate on a Friday where they have a date night menu, 3 courses for £36. However my food did not total £36 on the main menu, so I was overcharged… Very naughty.

Service was good but steak was rare and cold when ordered medium rare. Steak was also fatty and really chewy, so much so that I left most of mine. Not what you’d expect for the price. Onion rings were nice but a tad greasy inside. I’ve no doubt that I could have sent my steak back but by then my partner would have finished his food and we were also in a rush so didn’t have time to wait for it to be redone. Restaurant was a really nice vibe and staff were friendly but for the price and quality of the food I’m not sure I’d return again.
