    The food was outstanding, loads of flavour and freshly made with the kitchen partially visible with plenty on the go. Staff very friendly and helpful. Only downside is we felt rushed, no sooner had the starters cleared the mains were on the table. We had booked for a catch up but were in and out within 40mins.
