    Enjoyed the visit. Our allergies to mussles and nuts restricted our choices but we'll be back.

    Something a bit special without the super high prices of fine dining. The choices were varied and quality of the food was good. The dessert could have been improved visually, as it looked rather bland and boring, although tasted good.

    The staff were great - very polite, helpful when needed and unobtrusive when not. The food was superb and very well presented, with an ambiance in teh restaurant that was very pleasing. I will happily visit again and recommend your delightful restaurant to others for personal or business meals.

    Our first visit and hopefully not our last. It being Wednesday we brought our own wine. An all round winner for us. Tonight we used a voucher for a 3 course Set Menu. There were plenty of choice for all three courses. I started with Ham Hock Terrain, followed by the Belly Pork. My husband had the Beetroot with goats cheese followed by chicken breast. We had, at an additional cost, Truffle and Parmesan fries. Desert was Poached Pear for him and Creme Brulé with shortbread for me. The food was delicious. The service was excellent without being pushy or intrusive. Really looking forward to a return visit.
