    First visit of the year to the restaurant. Everything was fabulous as usual. Menu had a great selection, Apple trifle was wonderful and Evan our waitress was lovely. She was able to explain when asked questions about the food with confidence. Wishing her good luck for the future.

    Excellent meal at the College of Food. Amazing bread & arancini to begin. Lemon sole starter was delicious, pork belly was so tender. Orange & dark chocolate baked alaska was lovely to finish off the meal. Great service from the students.
