  “Four of us went for dinner here and it happened to be the first Nepalese night. Three of us had the Nepalese set menu and one had fish and chips and it was all excellent. The fish and chips was perfectly cooked and tasty. The rest of us had the chicken skewer starter which was beautifully flavoured and had six generous pieces of chicken. The mutton in the curry main was melt in the mouth and perfectly spiced and the veg curry was delicious. All came with nan bread and rice. The set menu also included a beer or wine, making it great value. Along with the lovely, friendly service it made for a really enjoyable Thursday evening. Highly recommended.”

  “We had a 3 course meal and beer flight travel zoo voucher. The staff were very friendly and helpful and explained what was included. The food was amazing, better than we had expected and we were served at our pace, so not rushed.....Definitely recommend!”

  “The building is modern but not brash, with pleasant garden landscaping. Staff were welcoming and friendly. Good, interesting choice of food, well presented and delicious. The cheese croquettes are actually full of melted cheese. The hake was succulent and the accompanying veg were so tasty. The Wild Beer Co.'s Millionaires Stout is definitely my favourite. So, I would recommend you visit and I'm looking forward to my next one.”

  “Food was excellent but unfortunately, to run out of dough for pizza and "flatbread" (that used the same dough as pizzas?!?) at 8pm was disappointing. What made things worse was a lack of social and customer service skills from one of the staff. The staff who took our orders was incredibly rude and didn't appear to want to be there. She didn't smile at any of the customers at all and snapped at us. The fish and chips was big and very tasty. The risotto was really on the small side but very delicious. We wanted to order an additional pizza after the risotto but we were told that they ran out of dough. We asked for a little bit more time to look at the menu again and were left to wait for ages before this staff would come back to our table. We then asked for two portions of the flat bread (in the snacks & nibbles menu) and the staff snapped and told us that she couldn't give us flatbread because they didn't have the (pizza) dough!!? Who knew that flatbreads are made of the same dough as pizzas!? There were also a couple of broken chairs at the table. It wasn't just wobbly. It quite simply wouldn't pass any health and safety checks when bits of the chair were sticking out! We enjoyed the food that we managed to have, and the beer was great. The service from that one staff really put a damper on our experience this evening. Hopefully, future customers won't have to endure being served by her.”

  “Really impressed with our meal (for two) last night. We’ve eaten here before, a few years ago, and it was okay, but last night was delicious. We shared the crispy chicken starter, and both enjoyed the porchetta with red cabbage and mash. Well cooked, tasty meat (not too fatty), and good flavours.”

  “We visited here on a Tuesday evening for our anniversary. We had a warm greeting from Jess and had a fantastic table overlooking the brewery’s garden. The food was reasonably priced, three courses plus a glass of bubbly came to around £50 a head. Presentation is on point, food is full of flavour, served hot and full of delicate crispy sensations. Only down side is the design of the building and lack of soft furnishings means sound bounces about.”

  “Wow what can I say, we booked a table for 5.15 and arrive around 15 minutes early. We were seated straight away. Water was on the table when we arrived, we ordered our drinks and then the food. We had some small plates to share for a starter, then we had pork belly and a fig and rocket salad. The food was amazing and so was the staff. Nothing was too much trouble and they were very friendly. We sat on a huge table (there was 3 of us) and it does state on the website that during busy periods, tables may need to shared. We did not have the tour, but bought some beers at the bar before we left. can't wait to return. Price did include service charge, which we were happy to pay for as the service was fab! 😊”
