Had the crispy beef and trio of prawn starters. Had tastier king prawns but the crispy beef is something special! Rib eye steak and short beef rib for mains. Steak was perfect but the short beef rib…oh my days! Soooo good! The gravy/sauce that it comes with was amazing and the beef just fell apart and there was plenty of it! Wild mushrooms as a side were excellent! Quiet evening as we went early! Never had a bad dining experience here. 🧡

We are a vegan and vegetarian and there are always options available. The mushroom risotto was a good portion and very tasty. We enjoyed the wine too and the service is friendly and attentive.

This is a great venue, food was amazing travel for work so have eaten in a lot of places and this is one of the best, Staff were great, friendly and welcoming. Please do not be put off by location as perception will fail you, it is well worth a visit and meal with great selection of wines and service being spot on. Price reasonable for non standard dishes which make for something different from the normal, which is nice if you like to try something different. Shall 100% be returning with family as this time around was for wife birthday.
