    Our second visit and it didn't disappoint. Had the mezzanine to ourselves and had a fabulous meal. They managed to keep control of us brilliantly and service was very good. Our waiter's knowledge of the wines, cheeses etc was excellent.

    My wife and I enjoyed a 3-course lunch using a Virgin Experience voucher given to us as a birthday gift. The restaurant itself is like no other, within a 13th century building and tastefully decorated. Beautiful. The food was excellent- pea soup, smoked fish rillette, chicken, sea trout, sticky toffee and a lemon mousse. All wonderfully presented, and delicious. The service matched the food - excellent. Warm, friendly, efficient. Lauren was wonderful and made us feel special. Ten out ten all round

    First time here and we went for our 10th wedding anniversary as it was somewhere different to our normal restaurant choices. Was not disappointed and the food was excellent as was the friendly service. Nice touch giving us complimentary Prosecco. Will certainly be going back soon

    Go here quite often on nights out for drinks, had been once before for steak, and it was nice. This time round I felt the steak game had been upped, steak cooked perfectly, got truffle fries and green beans with shallots. All very good, plus a side pot of sauce each. Shared the sides and swapped sauces between myself and boyfriend. Also got a glass of prosecco in it is on deal, since none of us are prosecco drinkers the manager allowed us to swap to half a lager each, perfect service good bar vibe, class music playing in background. A regular haunt for me, would definately return for food.
