    Went here for a birthday brunch. Food was outstanding. Quality of produce was excellent, service efficient and our server was so lovely, helpful and polite. Yes, a little on the pricy side, but I would definitely return. The vegan and vegetarian selection was fantastic too, no quorn sausages to be seen thankfully! A little gem of a restaurant.

    Dreadful to zero service. Staff all hanging around in separate room chatting and ignoring customers even though restaurant was half full. Starters served but then mains arrived before we had finished. No one cleared food away or asked us if we wanted more drinks so we cleared used plates onto a table beside us. When staff arrived with our food they dumped the plates/dishes on our table without any effort to identify who wanted what. Staff hardly spoke so very difficult to communicate with them. Not going back.

    First time I've been there in ages! I think the dining room itself has become more organised and comfortable! Staff and food lovely and moderately busy for a Tuesday evening too.
