Always have a lovely time. The service is great and they are always so nice to our wee dog. It’s where we had our first date two years ago and still keep coming back.

I booked a family meal; the food was enjoyable, and the location and ambiance were pleasant. However, I have a food allergy and was dissatisfied with the business's approach to addressing it. Managing allergies and intolerances can be challenging, often leaving one feeling self-conscious and like an inconvenience. I did not appreciate the approach taken in this regard. That being said, the food was nice, and the server was excellent.

Excellent wine and dine experience. My only complaint would be that the portion sizes are a bit small, although for the price, it's good value. Perhaps some bread to start?

Six of us went to McLarens “Trip across Europe” meal, 4 courses with paired wines. The restaurant was full so there was a good atmosphere. Everyone enjoyed the food, especially the coq au van and the white chocolate dessert. The service as always was friendly and efficient. A great night. Highly recommended

Really disappointing meal . Booked a table @6pm - no Sunday roast's left. Order was wrong, food was cold. Service was ok but clearly under staffed. Small portions. We were informed our table was required back just as we finished our main courses as someone flew past our table, not exactly welcoming. Expected better given the £186.00 price tag.

We booked a table for 7pm arrived promptly were seated and had to ask twice to place a drinks order over the next twenty minutes. Had to ask how the drinks were doing after 15 minutes and after server checked we were told the drinks orders were 'backed up' and they would come when they come. It felt as if this was going to be a slow slow process so we decided to leave. Found drinks and food food elsewhere. This was a disappointing experience.
