“We last visited a few years ago and used to love the food here, so we were really disappointed by our recent visit. Our server was lovely, but unfortunately the food didn't live up to our previous experiences. The bruschetta didn't match the menu description—it was missing the garlic, basil and olive oil, and instead came topped with cherry tomatoes, lots of rocket and balsamic vinegar. The rest of our dishes were quite bland, and I even found an ant in my drink at the end of the meal. The table next to us also commented that their drinks were flat. It's such a shame, as we used to really enjoy coming here, but the standards seem to have dropped.”

“Had my husbands 60th upstairs and everybody commented on how lovely the food was and i am sure you will have a few more customers. Fern recommended some singers for me and we booked the lovely Harry James. Bar service was excellent and great communication throughout. All staff were so helpful and organised but a special mention to the wonderful Fern she is such an asset to your business 😃 Thank you we had the most amazing afternoon.”

“Food and service was perfect, was served by such a lovely enthusiastic lady who made us feel so welcome. However, my experience changed when I went to the toilet after already eating my food, and I realised the toilets were disgusting, they look like they haven't lifted the seat up and cleaned it for years. There was also dry bogeys all over the walls in the cubicles. Guys you need to sack your cleaners. Thank you to the staff and chefs who made the rest of the experience an enjoyable one.”
