Service was very rushed! 3 courses in 1 hour and no time in between. Starter arrived before drinks to table. We asked for the bill when ordered dessert as decided would get next train home. I didn't quite expect to be approached to pay the bill while eating dessert!!! Saw another couple order cocktails at around 7.15pm and had no chance to drink them before being asked to return the table for 7.30! Waiting staff friendly, food good but please don't forget that people may want chance to chill to enjoy the experience. No need to be quite so rushed!
