Had to send my starter back as it wasn’t what was on the menu- scallops were with dry peas instead of a pea purée. Mains- salmon and chicken were really tasty for both of us were lovely. Service was excellent not intrusive, professional and attentive. Been before, will go again. Much better than the IVY!!!!

Great food and numerous options. It was a Boking Day lunch, so a quiet period that did nothing to detract from the good quality of the dishes enjoyed.
