I was a little bit disappointed as I came last year with work colleagues and there were 2 massive Christmas trees outside the entrance and carol singers as you walked in. This year were a couple of bare branches with a few bows on and no carol singers. I wanted to bring my family as I had such a lovely time last year but as I said it was a little different this year. My family still enjoyed the experience as they had never been before so had nothing to compare it to. I would still go again.

Had a very lovely experience dining here! The atmosphere was warm and inviting, with just the right blend of comfort and style. The food was absolutely fantastic—every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and exceeded expectations. A special shoutout to our waitress, Madina, who truly elevated the experience. She was attentive, kind, and had such a wonderful energy that made us feel so welcome. Her service was impeccable, and she added a personal touch that made our visit unforgettable. A perfect spot for great food, great vibes, and exceptional service!

We have only two complaints, the seasonal (Christmas) Scotch Egg needed more seasoning, which was surprising because every other element was perfect. And we were kind of ignored at the end of our meal, we had to chase someone down for boxes and the bill and the attitude of the person we asked was a little… off… like we were an inconvenience.
