    Stage just delivers. Simple as that. A great experience from start to finish, from kitchen to front of house. The concept is great and the execution faultless. Every visit is a total joy. Don’t ever turn down the bread and always opt for the paired drinks flight. Thanks again guys.

    Excellent in every respect. Innovative, delicious and refreshing. Perfectly paced courses. A delightful surprise every time. The smallest details - a pop of flavour from a fresh garden pea. Magic. I only wish I could remember the elements of each dish! We didn’t have the drinks flight but a table near us did and it looked awesome! Lovely atmosphere - thought it was going to be cramped but it was surprisingly spacious. Just a lovely experience from start to finish.

    We were pleased we managed to get a table to return for lunch this time rather than dinner. Lunch was fantastic, all dishes very well balanced with interesting flavour profiles. Very difficult to name our favourite dish they were all so good! Service was also great, all the staff were friendly and helpful with a relaxed and warm ambience. Don't even think about it - go!

    This was our third visit and the food this time somehow managed to surpass our previous wonderful experiences. Every dish was memorable and the bread is to die for! The service is absolutely spot on and the atmosphere in the restaurant is great too. We will most definitely be returning in the not too distant future.
