    Went for my mums birthday. The staff and food were amazing. A little expensive but Well worth the money. The music was slightly too loud to hear conversations sometimes but overall it was amazing 10/10 would recommend

    Food is great. A bit expensive though. The place is nice. Service was virtually non existent. Ordered a bottle of wine and it didn’t turn up until we already had our starters. It took a waitress 25 minutes to bring a dessert menu after taking our plates. Yes it was busy but there’s no excuse when I made eye contact with a waitress and waved at her and then she went to someone else. Shocking. We even gave up when it came to paying bill and paid it at the bar.

    A lot brighter since the makeover. Said it was a new menu but much of it was the same as the old one. Still good food.

    Really good food and atmosphere. Newly refurbed. Think they were under staffed. Lovely girl served us but average service mainly due to being understaffed.

    A superb place to eat, one of my favourites. The food is consistently superb and the wine pairs really well. A really nice country pub/restaurant.
