"beautiful decoration with very helpful and friendly staff! serve and wait the employee are inviting, editorial and try to answer questions they have via menu points or furnishings. I liked the description of her wall painting, inspired by a place in Colombia, and that it took 3 weeks to paint. beautiful recommendation about their beer selection, quilmes is an Argentineian camp that is easy, crisp and a little sharp. I had recommended as my starter (what means to wrap myself, I had happy to ask about this dish and enjoy the two choices, served with salat this camp compliment the aromen very good and the baked was as fluffy as filo. if they feel adventurous, it was worth trying: their portions are generous, in advance I recommend asking about you caught beer is peroni and comes in half pint or pint. her selection on the side comes in very beautiful medium-sized dishes. Twist rings are tasty and their thin frits are not as fryed, but are also tasty accompanied with chimichurri sauce! our group had a selection of meat dishes (ribeye, filet steaks and lamb frame and was cooked to perfection. I tried a bit the lamb had offered a family member, and it was tender, juicy and well spiced. overall, a great facility with comfortable seating furniture made of soft leather and music volume was well balanced, which was added to the ambiente. amazing personal. if this helps: the float coffee is an irish coffee without whisky. chimichurri was declared a combination of garlic, petersilie, olive oil and chili. green beans are with sun-dried tomatoes. green spinach is fresh. toilets are on the back to the left. many thanks to el toro. happy christmas and new year!"

"Visited, based on recommendation from one of its sister pubs (The Bears Paw). Looks very nice from approach and inside and very comfortable seats offered. Menu looked very nice and proved difficult to decide. Starters: I went for the Ox Cheek, which I 've had elewhere and usually proves delicious. Unfortunately, although it turned up promptly and looking nicely presented, it proved to be 75% jelatanous fat, which, of course, is very disappointing given the price of starters alone (photo attached). I know 'fats ' can add to the taste, but this was not what was expected given previous servings. My wife didn 't opt for a starter, but we shared a goats cheese flatbread (also as shown). This was very nice and by no means disappointing. Mains: I went for the 'A la Plancha ' Bacon Joint with marmalade glaze and fried egg. Again, it looked nicely presented and tasted very nice indeed. Just (again) disappointed, by the overly thick layer of jelatanous fat. This could have potentially been made into a cracking, but ended up being an inch thick slab of leftovers. Otherwise, the meal was lovely. The dear wife went for the 'Peruvian marinated Chicken Burger ', served with hand cut fries and a delicious, if not perplexing, green sauce mayonnaise. (I just wish I ordered what she did). Dessert: I went for the ye olde traditional Banoffe Knickerbocker Glory, and the wife had the Elderflower Creme Brulee. Both were very nice and washed down with pleasing drinks. Bill was, as expected, very expensive. Moreso given the disappointing starter and main for myself. A 'discrete ' 7.5% tip is automatically added, so be aware. Yes, the service was great, but if I visit again, I 'll definitely reconsider the options. Aimed a bit more towards the 'la dee daa ' side of Cheshire "
