    We had the Christmas Party menu and the food was fantastic! Can particularly recommend the Chicken Liver Parfait, Slow braised shin of beef and the chocolate orange tarte. The cocktails were lovely and the staff great. Will definitely be eating here again.

    A lovely meal, the steak was exceptional. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Preferred dessert not available but one not on main menu offered (it was on group booking menu). Good value.

    Food was outstanding as was the service from Sophie and her team . We didn’t feel rushed . One of the best restaurants in the Staines area. Highly recommend going here and make sure you book in advance . Well done team Corrnelian ! Sophie , who I believe may be the manager , is attentive , checks on you regularly and when I asked for a gap between our courses was more than accommodating . Didn’t feel rushed and was a great night .
