We say it to ourselves every time we visit, always a lovely experience! From the staff who couldn’t be more friendly, taking the time to chat to my 4 year old son (and let him test out a few ice creams before making his final decision!) to the food which it’s always delicious and beautifully presented! 10/10

I came with 2 friends for a pre theatre meal from the early bird menu the food was absolutely beautiful I was worried that the early bird menu might not reflect the food on the main menu but I couldn’t have been more wrong. We all had the roast cod which was incredible cooked to perfection followed by cheesecake for 2 and crumble for 1. The staff were welcoming and very professional what a lovely start to our evening thank you

Food and service were excellent. Service was attentive but we did not feel at all rushed. Great choices on the menu to suit all tastes. Hope to return soon.
