In town for one night, I made a reservation at 4pm for 6pm. Upon arrival, it was a busy Saturday evening at it wasn’t clear if they could honour my booking for a bar seat. As it was, they made a cosy place for me by the window. The service was excellent, with all staff being friendly and courteous. The food was excellent value for money (lamb burger, followed by plum and pistachio tart) as were for 2-for-1 cocktails. Throughly recommended!
