    5 of us in for Sunday Roast, all of us very happy with starters mains and deserts. The Porchetta was beautifully flavoursome and well cooked. And take note other restaurants! The gravy was lovely and there were enough roast potatoes....

    Naughty food, served in a size that doesn’t make you feel guilty. WINNING. Do not miss the potato dumplings with beef shin, crispy mutton belly, and the leeks… oh Lordy… let me lick that plate! And defo have the cheese AND both sweet desserts. You will get FOMO otherwise. As it’s a ‘come as it’s ready’ type affair, you’ll want to share all the dishes or get 2, so you don’t feel like you’re missing out or waiting. Floor manager is an angel, as are the other waiting staff, and Chef was sooo lovely too. Defo going back!!!
