We had incredibly delicious food and cocktails here. The man who served us was knowledgeable and attentive. We shared a scallop appetizer and wanted to lick the bowl clean and I had a roasted courgette entree that I will remember for years. Definitely go here if you can!

Really lovely experience here, having done a bit of research. Menu presented on a board by our very knowledgeable and lovely server, Ellie. Stunning presentation. Incredible flavours. Would recommend both the venison and fish options having had both. And the incredibly complex homemade brown sauce if it is an option. Dessert was really impressive in flavour, a take on eton mess, and I've never had strawberries like it. Fabulous service, thank you!

Son was graduating so managed to book months before as he specifically wanted to go. A wonderful gem of a place. Staff were super efficient, friendly and very attentive..#thank you guys ☺️! We shared sourdough bread with garlic and salted butter whilst ordering food ..😋. Mixed starters of fennel fennel, venison and sea bass. Mains of bream and Scottish cod. Shared a couple of desserts too. We had a mix of cocktails (non - alcoholic too)..they were superb! We 'were not' disappointed! The food & drinks were on point, the staff super nice. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves. Thank you to all 👏.
