My partners's fillet steak was surprisingly small. His starter of some sort of chicken salad was delicious. The scallops included in my dish tasted like they had been mashed up and reformed My fish was quite well cooked. The Pinot Grigio wine was not very pleasant unfortunately, but my 2nd glass of Marlborough Sauvingnon was as expected, so fine.

The desert I had was very odd however this was taken off the bill without hesitation. I hope the vegetarian options are rotated so there are additional options for further visits.

Food was very good and staff very friendly, service was good, would go again, only issue was we had the lobster but they did not have the right tools to eat it with. They said they were sorting this out, apart from that it was all good.

Dispiriting and incredibly poor value for money. Though we had a lovely welcome from Beckie, our food was so disappointing. A miserably dull and measly starter of a few slices of tomato and thinly sliced mozarella at £7? One glass of wine between the 3 of us, a shared dessert - just over £100. We nearly choked. We are always happy to pay for quality, however this in no way leaves you feeling good about the experience.

The only issue we really had with the evening (other than the rapidly increasing temperature) was the fact that the tables were not spaced to meet the COVID regulations. I found myself sat within 2” of another customer.
