    Friendly service. Delicious food. We shared two plates (starters) and two large plates (mains). Would be good to have more wine options under £50 per bottle.

    First visit to this local restaurant. Very good experience overall. Excellent food and very reasonably priced selection of wines. Warm welcome from the staff. A nice complement to their big brother ‘Trinity’. Will definitely be back.

    Splendid Sunday Supper. Great ambience. Good food. Great value, especially with Bottle Aposle deal. Just the right volume of banging background tunes.
