Valentine's day set menu so they were understandably very busy but we were almost 3 hours to get through 4 courses, so usually 40 mins + waiting for next plate. Food was pretty good but just let down by the service

We sat in the cold at the front of the eating area. Had to put our winter coats on. The food portions are minute! £5+ for 3 slices of bread. £30+ for a 1/4 cabbage dish. £32 for 500 ml of (albiet nice) house wine. Alas we'll look elsewhere in the area next time.
