    Love this place! Go here fairly regularly (say once a quarter) - staff are always lovely and accommodating, food is always beautiful (the pate is very tasty and I haven’t had a bad main there yet!). Steak on the stone and the pies are my favourites, last time I had the Sri Lanken chicken curry and although tasty enough I wouldn’t have again as felt quite basic. Can’t tear myself away from the berries and meringue dessert it’s the perfect amount to finish off the evening. There’s a nice outdoor area as well which I have enjoyed in the summer.

    We had a lunch booking for a friend’s birthday and while our waitress was lovely, the service was incredibly, incredibly slow! It took 30 minutes for them to tell us that one menu item was not available, so the food order was delayed another 35 minutes. The food is amazing, really top-class, but sadly the slowness continued all throughout, which spoils the whole event when you have other plans to meet. The final straw, however, was the unbelievably rude barman who does a real disservice to an otherwise nice establishment. I had to finally go up to the bar to pay the bill because there wasn’t a single staff member around, and asked him whether he can call someone to take my payment. He took it upon himself to come take it, but made sure that I understood that he was “taking payment on my break, yeah”, and then proceeded to tell me that he’ll “just leave his sandwich he’s having on his break”. Incredibly uncouth, incredibly narrow minded and clearly also incredibly unkind. Such a shame and as a result, patrons lost!
