    Parking: Just around the corner from the cattle market car park, which is free after 6pm and very spacious. Dietary restrictions: Catered for celiac, there's a QR code on the menu that takes you to a page where it details what you can have. The waiter points it out on entry when you make them aware.

    (Excellent food, even better service - 3 years ago) Gone massively downhill. The place looks great, as does the food. But the service is awful! Difficult to catch staff attention as they just don't look up. They're nice enough, but there doesn't seem to be any management. Oldest staff member about 25. Staff dropped cutlery on floor clearing starter, it just stayed there even as we left. We were given the wrong bill. The guy was lovely about it. But just felt very disorganised.
