"For the love of god, if you like food, don't eat here. I never leave bad reviews, but this place pushed me over the edge. We went on a Monday for the £25 4 course special set menu. The server asked if we wanted it all at once. I said no, we are sharing the courses but want it course by course. It came all at once: the samphire and wakame salad which was just wakame and the only really good dish; the cauliflower poppers which were perfect, except the sickly sweet maybe barbecue sauce maybe ketsup; the dry chicken with lovely mushroom leeks covered by a wasabi peppercorn cream sauce so revolting we literally scraped it off despit our love of wasabi; and the pork belly which would have been delish if not burned. What didn't come was the rice or first course mushroom salad which were delivered after asking only three times. And the mushroom salad was some conction of baby greens and dried mushrooms with a tahini dressing that we could only describe as gross. The entire meal was accompanied by easy listening versions of 70s to 90s hits best belong in a bank elevator and indifferent wait staff. Desperate to leave, and not fond of sweets, I declined the dessert course only to have the (more senior? waiter (who noticed my desperation? pressure me into eating. Nope. I think this might be the first one star I've given... I try to only review what I love but was so amazed by how very terrible the food and service was here I wanted to let others know: not worth your time or money."
