Amazing place, found it by accident while looking on Google. The food was outstanding and very reasonably priced, will definitely look to book

There for a family occasion and was a little disapointed in the ministroni soup, they had forgot to put any veg in it. Nice atmosphere although a little pricey but will

We'd not been here for coupla yrs, we had fond memories of a special venue (we've taken guests here as it was high on our list of local eateries), but it's certainly lost some of its pzazz based on our latest experience this week.Firstly, the girl who met us at the door clearly didn't want to be at work, there was not a hint of a smile or any chat from her all evening, even when we paid the bill. These first impressions matter.Unf our food was underwhelming too. The menu descriptions sounded very interesting with plenty of variety, but none of our starters or mains stood out - where were all those promised flavours? Bruschetta without garlic or basil? It was all 'OK' I guess but for the money we certainly weren't impressed. Cheap ingredients possibly, but too many corners have been cut to save money it seemed to us.The venue still looks great mind, and I'm sure at weekends there'll be a grand atmosphere, but this wonderful old place deserves better. We'll def be looking elsewhere for future outings. Such a pity, this place could be really special ....

We visited on the 13th January. Very quiet so I suspect they had turned the heating off. It was freezing. The food was ok, nothing special. There was an irritating alarm going constantly next to our table and we think it was letting them know the food was ready, so what with that and it being freezing cold, there was zero ambiance. They did bring out a fan heater, but in a huge room it didn’t really do much.
Excellent food and service, very friendly, good value, only niggle was that it was somewhat chilly with most customers keeping their coats on. Regardless of that we wouldn't hesitate to go

Had xmas diner there this year and was really disappointed with the food and service for the price we had to pay. £95 a head for the adults, we expected a lot more. Wasnt even as nice as their normal sunday lunch. Didnt get offered the coffees we chose at the end, the staff just seemed like they wanted us finished so they could finish. And they added on a £55 service charge which they realy didn't deserve. I get its xmas so they have to make it worth their while but they really could have it made more effort to engage with the customers and create more of an atmosphere.

I hosted a large group for lunch (18) on New Years Day - the restuarent was busy and staff minimal but the service was great and they made the day with their humour and hard work. The food was lovely and we all had our meals served together which made it easy for me as a host! A huge thank you Addi and team for a really lovely meal and for making the day relaxing and fun! Cheers Linda

Visited this place on New Year’s Eve day for the first time the whole experience was great. We were met with a warm welcome from staff and the service and food were excellent Would definitely recommend this restaurant and will definitely return again

We had heard a few bad stories about this place. We had visited many times before but not in the past couple of years. We decided to give it a chance and I’m very glad we did. We visited on a Saturday evening. The place was buzzing. The service was great. The food was fab. Cannot complain and definitely recommend !
