    Lunchtime, easy atmosphere, no problem with conversation being heard despite being quite busy (most tables occupied, no one standing). Venison was quite delicious, well prepared. Quite pricey, but possibly I’m just not used to city pricing. I need to get out more - and I’ll go back to The Voyage of Buck when I do.

    Food is excellent and service was adequate although not exceptional. The restaurant was quiet when we were there for lunch but very cold.

    Food was exceptional, between us we had humour, smoked salmon and both had venison for main.the presentation but more importantly quality, taste, flavour and texture was best we've tasted for many years

    Good food though not as extensive a menu as on website / OpenTable preview. Staff are very good. Feels like it doesn’t know if it’s a pub with good food or is trying to be a good restaurant which it could be given the standard of food. Toilets are a shocking disgrace. Overall could be a lot better
