    Atmosphere is comfortable - not "too" modern but up-to-date and fun. Like the slight separation between bar and dining room. Food was excellent with a varied menu.

    It was packed. Festival weekend. But I sat at the bar and had a wonderful steak frit. The ladies behind the bar were friendly and totally professional. They worked as a team to make sure everyone was happy. I left after many satisfying gin and tonics.

    Lovely food but not overly family friendly… restaurant only had one high chair suggesting they don’t get small children in regularly and we had to wait on it… small restaurant not ideal for prams … food was really nice though
    ElementResponded on August 13, 2024
    Good evening Clare, Thank you for taking the time to leave us some feedback. I am really pleased to hear that you enjoyed our food, I agree that our chefs are amazing! However, I am disappointed to hear that you found us not family friendly, this is not usually the case. We always try to accommodate families however, I appreciate you bringing this to our attention. We do have another high chair which will arrive soon. Again, very sorry that you were dissatisfied, we do hope to invite you back again soon to change your opinion about us! Please email me at Eilish.sanders@signaturepubs.co.uk to get you booked in or call directly on 0131 225 3297. Kind regards, Eilish Sanders General Manager
