    It was quite disappointing with the confit duck while the skin is supposed to be crispy and tender for the meat but turns out everything is tender and the sauce taste the same as the feather blade beef. The crème brûlée was fair. The service was outstanding, the staff who greeted us was very energetic and welcoming. The waitress who served us was friendly and polite. The overall experience was fair.

    Wonderful meal with my mum, fantastic choices on the set menu. Lovely to see the place full even if it did make it quite loud. The ladies who looked after us were wonderful and I’m sorry I didn’t get their names. Always my favourite place for a treat and already looking forward to coming back soon. X

    The five of us enjoyed a long lovely experience, with time to enjoy the conversation while eating and drinking excellent food and wine. The service was perfect, as in professional and efficient, but friendly at the same time. Sue, my wife and I have already booked again for early January.

    Slow start but good other than that. Took a while for bill to get to us and then the card machine broke and when mended the contactless didn’t work so not trouble free. Waitress was charming and had a lovely sense of humour and was fun. But the menu was good and varied and different and very nicely presented. Particularly good were the CL paté, parsnip purée and the Eccles cake. We were in no hurry and we had a relaxed and very enjoyable meal before the matinée at The Royal Exchange.
