    Went at 16:00 which was a quiet time and enjoyed a nice early pre concert dinner. Service was ecellent and very accomodating with a couple of 'tweaks' we wanted to make. All in all excellent.

    Couldn’t fault the food at all. Went for lunch with friends. On arrival table not set, no menu’s on table and had to ask for wine lists. No ice bucket brought for white wine , got asked if we wanted same glasses for prosecco as wine or rather a flute which we found odd. Just small things that should be 2nd nature in a pub/restaurant . But we did have a beautiful meal. Defo more restaurant style and prices than pub grub. Would go back

    Great gastropub with excellent food. Small menu (which is a positive) of really tasty dishes that are well prepared and presented. We had a couple of minor issues on this occasion, but they were resolved quickly and with good humour. Overall, service is excellent.
