Four of us had Brunch ( Florentine etc ). Eggs hard . All cold . We were asked if we wanted to send them back , but two others had main meals , so we declined . The Fish n Chips and Cod Loin were well reviewed by our friends. Friendly service . Too many tables though - so felt a bit cramped . Food good pricing . £50 for a bottle of Prosecco a bit high .

This classic menu is executed to an exceptional standard. The wait staff is exceptionally well-trained, although they appeared overwhelmed during peak hours. The renovation successfully recreated a period art deco environment, complete with a stunning bar island. The pricing was quite competitive. A solid five stars.
