We booked the 2 course lunch menu and it was lovely!! All the staff were attentive and Plifford who served us was lovely. I booked it for my husbands birthday, and they mentioned it once we were seated and gave him a birthday card, which was a really nice touch!
It is an expensive menu but the lunch menu is well worth it.

My friend and I ate there on Monday evening. My friend ordered a bottle of New Zealand Sauvignon Blanc noting it was £38 (or thereabouts). She didn't spot there were two NZSBs on the list. It was only when we got the bill we realised we had been served the £68 NZSB. The waiter should have clarified which bottle we wanted, and if he was going to assume anything he should have assumed the cheaper bottle. Very disappointing. Regarding the food, I ordered fish and chips and the chips were undercooked and hard.
