  “Absolutely gem of a local restaurant, on arrival found staff to be friendly, helpful & attentive taking our order with a lovely atmosphere. Pizzas were amazing, better than anywhere else. Also tried other dishes from menu including Sunday roast and all 10/10, tasty, decent food and I always come back for more.”

  “It's been a while since we've been but I was shocked at how much they've put the prices up by. I understand that prices have gone up everywhere, but steaks have gone up from £28 to £38. I don't even pay that much at premium restaurants in town, and the steaks weren't cooked properly. Potato skins starters have gone up from £4.20 to £6.95 pizzas are £3 more, pasta dishes at least £2 more. They're now charging premium prices for a local restaurant, and sadly the decor, ambience and food doesn't match the prices they now command. The foods nice, but not worth the prices they now charge.”

  “What a shame! One of our favourite restaurants for special family occasions has massively increased their prices. Steak night has gone up from £21.95 to £39.95. Nearly double! A meal for 2 has jumped up from aprox £50 to £85. For a party of about 13 of us that's far too much. Lovely food but unfortunately we'll be going elsewhere in future.”

  “My husband and I had dinner here on 15/10/25. Starters: Spicy meatballs Homemade fishcakes Mains Pizza romana Dolcelatte chicken Deserts Tiramisu Lemon Eaton mess Drinks Pornstar martini Expresso martini The meatballs were tender and juicy. The sauce was flavourful without being too spicy. It had a creamy texture and tasted fresh and delicious. The bread that came with it had an amazing texture and was delicious. The fishcakes were amazing. Clearly home made, perfectly seasoned and delicious wirh a beautiful texture. I always thought I didn't like fishcakes. Apparently I just never had good ones. Both starters were big enough to be mains. The romana pizza was delicious, ingredients clearly fresh and very tasty. Not the best pizza I ever had but certainly a good one. The dolcelatte chicken was delicious. The sauce was creamy and had perfectly seasoned. The chicken was perfectly cooked and juicy. The chips were thick cut with a crispy outside and fluffy middle. Some of the best chips I have ever had. The Eaton mess was lovely, massive portions of ice-cream with perfectly crispy meringue pieces, a mountain of cream and topped with a zingy lemon sauce. The tiramisu was heaven on a wooden board. Creamy, delicious, intense, chocolate. Words escape me for how good this was. We had a pornstar martini and an expresso martini. The drinks was perfectly balanced and generous sizes. Simple, elegant, beautiful. We went in without a reservation dressed in hoodies and trainers since this was not a planned meal and yet we were still greeted warmly, with enthusiasm and seated quickly despite it being a little busy. The restaurant is beautiful and cozy with a family feel. The service was impeccable. We were served by multiple people, everyone equaly as respecful, friendly, enthusiastic and accommodating. Nobody hovered over us so we never felt rushed. We were left to enjoy our meals without having to wait too long for our plates to be clearned and the next course to be served. Accompaniments were offered when appropriate without any upselling or preassure. The prices were decent especially considering the quality and quantity of the food and drinks. We paid £78.20 before tip. I would recommend everyone try this restaurant. Honestly everything was impressive from greeting to leaving and although they are quite far from us and we were only in the area for an appointment, I plan on going back when we can.”

  “My wife and I visited the beautiful restaurant as a happenstance of the location we were in. We had one cocktail each, mine was an espresso martini and my wife had a pornstar martini. For starters I had home made fishcakes with a chilli dip. My wife had the meatball starter. Both were amazing, fresh, tasty and big enough to be a main course. Our main courses consisted of a pepperoni pizza for my wife and chicken dolcelatte with hand cut chips. Both of these meals were again delicious and tasted amazing. Fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly 👌. The desert course was tiramasu and a lemon Eton mess. Both were very good. The presentation of all the courses was on point and the service was perfect. Cutlery and napkins were changed after every course. The staff allowed you to enjoy your meal without interruption (ie the usual "is everything ok speech as you have a mouthful of food). Would definitely recommend this place and absolutely want to return to study their steak.”

  “Last minute decision to go out for a meal and my parents highly recommended the place so decided to come here. I had fillet stroganoff and my husband had sirloin Diana. Both absolutely gorgeous and cooked to perfection! Plus the servers were so lovely and attentive but also gave you space to sit and enjoy your meal. After our dinner we went upstairs to the cocktail bar and it is beautifully decorated! Stunning. The two lads on the bar were great as well. Personal preference but when we turned up, they had Evanescence on and it was amazing to sit in a beautiful bar with decent drink and good music!!”

  “Went to give it a try as never been before even tho its local and found the food to be just ok. The food seemed to be rushed and you could taste that in the pasta. Pizza looked very simple and not what you would expect for a meat feast pizza. Potato skins where probably the best out of the food. As stated it was ok we ate it but would not be rushing back anytime soon. Service was very rushed aswel came across they wanted us in and out.”

  “Absolutely love this place. Whether it’s eating in the restaurant or having the food delivered, it is always beautiful. My main go to is Cajun pasta and the meatballs are WOW. The Sunday dinners are also amazing!”

  “6 of us had food here, all 6 were really nice. We sat on the terrace which was really nice too and to top it off the staff were really friendly. This was the first time we have been here and we will definitely be returning 👌”
