About this restaurant

Good for groups
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

As well as intimate and cosy meals for couples or small groups, we are also a noted venue for group bookings, including cocktail classes, birthdays, hen parties, and weddings - all of which may be combined with a two/three-course meal, buffet, or something more bespoke. Once a month we host the Oliver's bottomless brunch, with option to upgrade to bottomless cocktails. These are always popular and we recommend booking well in advance.

For any bookings over 20 people we are happy to open our restaurant on a Monday - Wednesday - Please contact us direct for more information.

On Fridays and Saturdays, the bar and dance floor area turns into a club setting from 9pm - please consider this when booking late tables in the restaurant.

We sat in the smaller room and as it wasn't so busy had the room to ourselves, we were there for a family birthday so it was a nice touch and The service from the staff was excellent. The food was good, the garlic chilli prawns, pork belly and camembert were all really nice, fillet steak was a little overcooked than i asked but was still ok, the mash and vine tomatoes that came with it were lovely, others had pork belly and lamb chops and thoroughly enjoyed them and the desserts were ok too. Overall good experience here and would definitely visit again

We came back here for our 3 year anniversary and the food was amazing. We ordered the filet steak and the pork belly both were cooked to perfection and the service was great. The restaurant had recently been refurbished so the ambiance was lovely and we went on a Tuesday so it was 50% off mains as well!
