Absolutely amazing meal. Took my Son for the 1st and he loved his meal. Haggis wellington and surf and turf for him. Scallops and steak for me was cooked to perfection. Service was excellent and talked you through the menu. Will definitely be back soon.

Been here for the Beef Wellington. It was really good. Could have been a little bit cheaper, but still worth it on special occasions. The dessert menu is also simple but delicious 😋

Lovely, as always! Only one minor complaint though, main course was a tad on the cool side, needed to be piping hot, but apart from that, the standard was the usual high!
