The menu doesn’t deliver. Not at the prices. Maybe leaning on their reputation and times gone by but it was noticeably quiet which speaks for itself

This was a lovely place to catch up with a few friends. The menu was varied and good value and the special starter was lovely. There was an excellent selection of wines and the service was fantastic, warm and welcoming. Even though the place was busy we got our food in super time.
