Really disappointing experience. The first time I dined here, it was a pleasant experience. This time around, the restaurant was freezing - all the other diners put on their coats in the time we were there. Despite it being a cold evening, the door was left open and the staff seemed oblivious to how cold it was. Service was friendly enough but part of our order was forgotten, and we had to enquire. We ordered the duck special as one of the mains. It was extremely dry and over cooked, almost rubbery in texture. They may have been understaffed but there are ways to manage expectation around this without losing good will. The mains took about an hour and a half to come out. By that time we were all freezing and hungry, despite booking an early sitting time. It’s a shame as the setting is lovely and my first experience was positive. I won’t be returning.

Lovely way to spend Sunday lunch with friends. They have done a great job of renovating an old church into a very comfortable space , small but not crowded, felt like we were dining with the whole congregation but also had our privacy. We chose the set menu and it was faultless, probably the steak tartare was the winner on the day but the rest of the meal was also delicious. Stuart our waiter was attentive , knowledgeable but also gave us space. Will be back to try the a la carte one day soon

Extremely overpriced for the level of technique applied and the largely plant-based menu. Far too much bread and far too many lettuce and radicchio leaves. The lamb main was tasty, but tough and fatty and there was not enough of it for five people. The butter served with baguette was melted. The waiter with no sleeves and bare underarms leaning over the table totally unappealing. The waiters did not serve out the dishes and the patrons are expected to dig into two plates in the centre as a group, meaning you are often using your fingers to retrieve delicate pieces of things Wine princes much the same as at other fine dining restaurants. Disappointing experience overall, which might have been acceptable if it were about half the current price. Massively overpriced for the small amount of meat available and we got the impression we were being filled up on bread and green leaves of various types. Interesting wine menu though.
