Fantastic food and service. First time here, certainly won’t be the last. I had an excellent ribeye and husband was delighted with his chicken burger. Cheese cake and sticky toffee pudding were delicious. The maitre d of the restaurant went above and beyond to look after us and he was so professional. Really enjoyed it all.

We had a great table at the back of the restaurant so although it was a busy night we were very comfortable and there was no problem with noise from fellow diners. The food was good, service excellent and our four-legged companion was made very welcome.
