lovely food and great service. Only criticism would be the decor and toilet which are a bit incongruent with the quality and price of the good

I’d give six out of five for service if I could- friendly, instantly welcoming, helpful, prompt and genuinely enthusiastic. We had the excellent value Sunday lunch menu, beautifully balanced mackerel pâté and Welsh rarebit starters then melting slow roast belly pork with all the trimmings… by which time it was impossible to imagine pudding. A good glass of Provençal red (I believe, suggested as replacement for an out-of-stock Côtes du Rhône) and an Austrian orange wine which didn’t quite hit the mark - not as good as Georgian IMO, but not many are. A long narrow dining room that might be awkward but instead managed to accommodate family parties, couples and a party of colleagues in a warm and cosy space. I’d love to come back for the tasting menu which looks sensational.

A last minute spot led us to this small restaurant with big ideas. A warm welcome ensued with the Sunday lunch menu. The starters were a little limited but the main course of beef and the trimmings was spot on!

As soon as we entered the restaurant we were given excellent service which was attentive but not obtrusive.The dishes were beautifully presented with attention to their visual appeal.And the food? Ah the food! Delicious with a real intensity of flavour and surprise! We will be back!

We enjoyed the whole evening from start to finish, the food was sublime - the fish course was the standout for me, but the lamb was a VERY close second. Wine choices were surprising and perfectly paired with the food. Three different English wines, which was a very pleasant change and all excellent. The Californian Pinot Noir was mind blowing and we’re ordering a case for home.The staff were knowledgable and very welcoming, even in their partner bar over the road where we saw them later!Music in the restaurant was right up my street too. I don’t have any negatives at all. A great night all round.
