    Second visit for my friend and I before a trip to the RSC. Staff are always so welcoming, friendly and engaging. We enjoyed the pheasant meal and the pork meal. We were forced into eating the most delicious panacotta with kirsch cherries. Delicious. If we had to be a little fussy we both would have preferred to have the gravy/ jus in jugs by the side as we both felt our plates were slightly‘swimming’. But we most certainly be back.

    Nice atmosphere and very friendly waiter. Food nice but quite small portions for the price. Glass of Prosecco very pricey. Would go again though.

    Love this little eatery and always visit before the evening theatre at the RSC. Staff are friendly and attentive. Food is fabulous and set menu offers great vfm. Plentiful selection of keenly price wines by glass carraffe and bottle. Banofee pie was SO amazing.
