    Went here for a night out for my friend's Hen Do and it was wonderful! The bar staff and waiters/waitresses were good. The food was good and the cocktails tasty, although they didn't know how to make a spicy margarita.

    My partner and I attended this venue on Valentine’s Day for their afternoon tee. The service was amazing everyone was friendly and it felt as we wasnt just left waiting to be noticed. The food itself was really really good with most afternoon tees I have found the portion sizes to be very small however it was the opposite with the Churchill bar. Everything was a good size and extremely fresh. Definitely recommend
