Such a lovely night! We got the feed me and dietaries were well catered for with no fuss! Everything came out in such a well timed manner and all the flavours were so delicious! Additionally, it was such a wonderful experience to be seated at the communal table, very lively and added to the ambience of the night! Thank you both front and back of house for a wonderful night!
