Friendly staff and lovely atmosphere. Steak wasn't too great, overcooked potatoes and small dessert sizes.

Birthday lunch was lovely, and staff were so professional with excellent customer service ?

Where to start, the food was simply incredible. Some of the best dishes you’ll eat outside of London. A truly hidden

We had a table of 6, all orders prebooked, for the Christmas menu. 2 of us had the ‘Brie’ balls, which where just hollow balls with the tiniest dot of Brie inside you couldn’t taste at all.The main course roast dinners were average to say the least, small portions and overcooked Yorkshires.When they brought me out a mini roll sold as Yule log I couldn’t believe it!The gaps between courses was exceptionally long, despite us pre ordering and the restaurant wasn’t particularly busy. This has always been known as an upper end restaurant for a special meal but this meal was disappointing. We could’ve had 2 meals of a better standard at any number of restaurants for the same price as we paid for one meal here.Definitely would not recommend! Save your money and get a nice meal somewhere else.

Really lovely visit. Food was great - all three courses of the Boxing Day menu. Friendly service and relaxed ambience.

We visit most Christmas Eve’s for a treat but what a disappointment. They were only offering. The Sunday lunch menu in the evening with a roast being the main choice. You don’t really want a roast the night before Christmas Day. They had run out of scallops and lobster only leaving trout gnocchi and a burger as a choice. The pork bites starter was chewy like bits of overdone bacon and the cocktails were disgusting. The lights were also bright no ambience at all. Service was ok but mainly staff were gathered around the outdoor cloakroom chatting. Very poor we won’t be back next year

I find it amusing how true reviews that have low star rating are quickly pushed down the list by 5 star reviews that some of them are fake.

Very busy when we went. Food OK. Waited a long time but staff were very fair and apologetic. I'm sure this could be five star when not so busy.

Staff were very helpful and friendly and the food very nice . Glad I didn't have a starter because the main course and dessert filled me to the brim. Thank you.

Went for afternoon tea with my wife. Atmosphere and staff absolutely spot on. Food slightly disappointing for such a quality restaurant. The scones were overcooked and the sandwiches could have been more exciting, cakes very good with a large selection. Overall we both really enjoyed our

Thought I would treat my mum for a pre Christmas treat as she has not been well recently and booked afternoon tea, we went in April and it was beautiful, but today it was so disappointing, the food was tasteless, dry and over cooked, so not very pleasant at all. The ambience and staff was very good which was lovely but I will not be returning again, unfortunately I have already bought a voucher for my son and his girlfriend to have afternoon tea, so hope it’s better for them.
