    We had a great table next to where all the cooking action goes on. There was plenty of room for our party of seven and the chairs were very comfortable. I had a great meal and the service was all good. I would definitely book again. Keep up the good work!

    The setting is lovely- an old pub. We were seated quickly, and the table was nice, but it quickly became clear we were right below a speaker blasting loud and annoying music. Although the music was turned down (a bit) after a couple requests, the background music was annoying pop songs which didn't fit the ambiance and obviated any conversation. The starters were excellent. The mains were variable. We all four ordered lamb - though of different types. The shank and chops were excellent. the hotpot and the lamb on smoked aubergine and yogurt were tough, fatty and gristly. Service was OK, though a few things were not as ordered (perhaps due to the loud music?) Food arrived promptly and at the right temperature. So, overall, a mixed experience. Could do better.

    Too busy for them to handle. I have been previously with no issues however valentines night was a disaster. We ordered all food and drink as soon as we sat down at 8:30, we then got our starters before our drinks. Then we didn’t receive our mains until 10 o clock, we waited over an hour after we had finished our starters. We then didn’t even bother asking for desserts as we had somewhere to be after so we asked for the bill at 10:15 which we then had to ask for a further 3 times and we didn’t get the bill until 11 o clock. Was very close to walking out. Was awful service and food was bang average. Considering it was a set menu and all we got for mains was a steak we didn’t expect to be waiting as long.

    Whilst I would recommend to a friend based on the first time I visited, the second time on Valentine’s Day evening I would not. It just seemed very clumsily done, first we were sat next to a loud speak so we asked to move as we couldn’t hear each other, then we waited quite a while to order. The wine and starter were lovely but it went downhill when we waited over an hour for our main meal and mine was quite dry and my husband’s was cold. Despite them heating it up it was still lukewarm, and whilst he was given another meal it was the same as mine and dry. Our desserts never arrived and everyone else had waited a long time to get their meals too. It felt like they had given up on us in the end. We just paid for our wine and starter and I think the manager was upset with this but basically we had gone out expecting a nice Valentine’s meal and we spent most of it chasing food or wrangling the bill. The restaurant itself was lovely in terms of decor and once they got the music sorted it was good and fitted the ambience. Hopefully the service and food will not be this poor again, however it will be some time before we re-visit.

    Appalling service. The staff made errors with every table nearby. No service for drinks. Good delayed. We won’t be coming back

    Sadly the service was very poor tonight (Valentines Night) maybe the restaurant were overwhelmed by bookings maybe they just didn't perform on the night, the wait between courses was over an hour and what should of been a pleasent eating experience turned sour the longer the evening went on, we paid a reduced bill and left, would not recommend sadly.
