    Long a favourite location for the dinner, two of the party were happy with the excellent value of the pre-theatre menu. One person was saddened by the addition of carrots and button mushrooms to the lasagna and the disappearance of the spinach pasta sheets. Lovely, helpful staff, efficient service, great ambience.

    Excellent pretheatre venue. Staff are all very friendly and efficient: meals are served quickly to help us reach the theatre on time, yet you don't feel rushed. A good range of lovely, well presented meals to suit varied diets, even on the shorter fixed price menu. Although most covers are pairs or quadruplets I never feel out of place as a single.
