Lunch was a perfectly grilled chicken sandwich on toasted walnut raisin bread topped with an herb mayonnaise and served with a fresh green salad. The sandwich was generously sized perfect for two ladies to share, we also enjoyed the creamy winter root vegetable soup yum!

My party of 3 was fortunate to be seated in an upstairs room which is cozy and relatively quiet. Service was attentive and prompt. We enjoyed the deviled eggs before main dishes, which were modestly sized (fish and chips, rabbit stew) except for the baked trout, which was covered in more beans than I could eat. Everything was tasty, including the desserts. We very much enjoyed the meal.

This was my first time dining here and it was fantastic. Love the vibe. Food and service was excellent. I had noted in the reservation that one of the diners is a celiac and we were given a menu that was gf- definitely an appreciated rarity. Looking forward to my next visit.

Wow. Loved the ambience. Great service. Very authentic contemporary English foods. The sauce for the Salmon was delightful. Saw amazing looking dishes at tables around us. The only difficult part of the night was choosing. A win all around.
