"The wine selection is impressive, and as for the food—let me just say, the chef certainly knows how to prepare pork! We both indulged in the same main dish because we're both fans of belly pork, and we were absolutely not disappointed. It was melt-in-your-mouth delicious! We enjoyed a three-course meal along with a nice bottle of Merlot, totaling £85 including tip. Honestly, given the quality of the food we had the pleasure of enjoying, that price is hardly extravagant these days. We will definitely be returning and won't hesitate to recommend this wonderful little restaurant to others. As a chef myself, I always seek out excellent food, and I left feeling satisfied, full, and quite inspired."

I stopped here while passing through and had a fantastic brunch. The service from the two young gentlemen was excellent—very friendly, and they were always willing to help with anything I needed.

On Mother's Day, I enjoyed a fantastic meal. The food was exceptional, but I wasn't fond of the back room. We had a similar experience three years ago on Christmas Day. I find the back room quite dark and it lacks atmosphere, and the new building next door doesn't help with the lighting. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Lunch

"I was appalled at the quality of service from the moment I arrived to the moment I left, which was about When I arrived I was not asked if I would like a drink, and I wasn't asked throughout the whole meal. The waitress should have seen on the table that we only had tap water, and asked whether we'd like another drink. Then, we ordered our first round of hot food. I pressed the help button and after waiting for a good minutes for the waitress finally arrived. I felt it was too long. At this point in the evening there were three full tables in the whole restaurant so I thought the amount of time we had to wait was poor. Then the food started coming over, but the food didn't come altogether. A couple of dishes came and then a few more and a few more after that. This meant we didn't all eat together, we ate all at different times. I had ordered two dishes to eat at the same time and they didn't arrive at the same time. Very disappointing. The third order of hot food was beyond a joke. It was clear that one of the two waitress wasn't feeling very well (I overheard one of the chef's telling her to go home). She was our waitress. So, we ordered the third round of hot food. minutes later we still didn't have our food. In this time the chef was talking to the ill waitress. I then pressed the help button and I explained that we'd ordered some food and had been waiting a rather long time. I then look round at the waitress and chef and it was absolutely clear that the order didn't go through so it was only then that the food was starting to be cooked. The waitress who took the order explained that there's been lots of issues and she was sorry. As a customer paying for a meal, I don't care about the issues, I still expected good service and my food to turn up. Overall I thought the service was absolutely terrible. I will not be visiting this restaurant again and I will not be recommending the restaurant to anyone."
