Reviews
A special mention to Tim, who was thoughtful and consistently excellent. He suggested a lovely pairing for the Roasted miso parsnips with the Crispy confit potatoes and, importantly, let me know that the sea bream dish I was considering contained small pieces of pork—something I hadn’t realised. That kind of awareness and consideration really matters, especially when you’re dining on your own.
The food was excellent overall, with the King prawn starter and Winter berry log standing out in particular—comforting, well-balanced, and beautifully done.
Warm service, great food, and an atmosphere that makes even a solo Christmas lunch feel full rather than lonely!
Overall would absolutely not return or reccomend. £100+ bill and went to five guys after as we were so dissapointed.
The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was pleasantly calm. Our waitron, Maximillion, and server, Thea, were both brilliant and provided five-star service throughout the afternoon.
However, we were let down by: Communication: I emailed twice and called twice regarding a pre-order issue, but received no response.
Accessibility: Despite having my elderly mother with us, we were seated upstairs. We were told downstairs was fully booked, yet it remained half-empty for the duration of our visit.
Attention to Detail: we had to ask for the “complimentary” mince pies to be removed from the bill after being charged for them.
The floor staff and kitchen are excellent, but the lack of responsiveness and consideration for mobility was disappointing. While we enjoyed the meal, we will be trying somewhere else next year.
Sadly we were disappointed in so many ways.
It was a busy evening understood it’s Christmas after all.
Firstly where we were sat 2 of our party had to put up with some sort of vibration under there seats and table, were they sat on a generator?
The meal took over an hour and a half to arrive!
The 2 plates of sea bass were salty and over cooked. The turkey roll was cold. And steak was grissley!
Our friend has a few severe allergies which the team were attentive and keen to accommodate, having chosen the meals she could eat she was served a plate of a vegan truffle burger that was so over flavoured she didn’t eat any, (this was taken off the bill at my request) but even the fries came covered in cheese when specifically asked for not due to her allergies.
All in all it was the most disappointing meal.
Oh and when the meals were so late and we asked what was happening we were offered bread!! It’s quite laughable really, no offer of a drink as compensation or any discount off the bill. We spent over £55 per person.
Such a disappointment, and we won’t be back
Great service
Efficient staff
Food arrived in timely fashion cooked fresh and hot. Good size portions.
Very busy vibrant restaurant.
