    Best service I have experienced in at least ten years. Wonderfully attentive without overdoing it, and all done with a very sincere smile

    Home baked sourdough with smoked butter is an old favourite but I was not expecting the celeriac soup to be that good (SO good). Absolute heaven with the beetroot salad with whipped goat cheese and roasted hazelnuts. And the lovely lovely staff!!

    Really very good burgers for lunch. Practically still sizzling on arrival and the beef was so rich and flavoursome. I really liked the chili jam and whatever was done to the brioche buns made them delicious. Staff, as always, absolutely lovely. Attentive and kind.

    I’m so obsessed with the beetroot and goat’s cheese starter. It’s so beautiful and all the flavours and textures are wonderful together.
