    I came here for a bite to eat on a Friday afternoon. Been here many times for after work drinks but decided to give their kitchen a go. Was not disappointed - waitress was attentive and the food was spot on. I came for lunch with a colleague and there was plenty of choice and it all came out promptly. Out of the 6 dishes we chose, there was only one that to me lacked flavour, the rest were delicious. Overall very happy and will be back another day for sure.

    Love the atmosphere here. Came here with some friends and we were pleased to see they were supporting a local charity with their delicious cocktail of the week. Staff are attentive and food caters to all dietry requirements. Clearly they have thought about their menu carefully which is great for me as i have lots of gluten free and vegan friends.

    Food was excellent, plenty of choice and my wife loved the cocktails. We had 3 tapas each and there was more than enough food. Will return.

    I had wanted to go to the Lighthouse in a while and was not disappointed! The tapas were delicious, as were the cocktails. Came back two days later for a gin tasting, just as recommendable!

    While we were not overly impressed with the menu, that is because we expected food easier to pick at. The cocktails were great and the service excellent.
