I have reviewed this pub before and first time was fairly neutral. This time I am afraid that we felt there were some major shortcomings. This matters mainly as 2 courses with one beer and one bottled mango juice at lunch cost £62.60, excluding service. That is ambitious pricing. Scallops to start were small, overcooked and grey. Pork belly was... More

Very difficult to know how to rate this restaurant. We arrived for lunch to find only one other customer. There was a friendly welcome and an interesting menu. The upside of our experience was that our meal was excellent when it arrived. The downside was that we were ignored for well over an hour after we gave our order -... More

We went here for the first time with friends and we will be going there again. The food is really very good and the portion sizes are generous. There are a number of good gastro pubs and restaurants locally and this is easily up among the best of them when compared solely on the food. Add in the fact that... More

Good service to start but got worse as the night went on. As good as ignored once the mains were finished. The food was good but not worth the price. For the prices I'd expect some of the best food in the area, but it wasn't. Lack of vegan options for starters and dessert. More

In my opinion this restaurant just gets better. My husband and I dined here on Saturday 10th March and we had a fabulous evening. This beats mant of the restaurants I have tried whilst working in London. I had the sea bass with cockles, chorizo and hickory braised lentils and every mouthful was amazing. My husband had the lamb which... More

Lamb like rubber, poor service , very expensive! Despite a weeks 's warning only a vegan main, no starter or pudding. Vegans like 3 courses as well. Definitely gone down hill since I was last there. Won' be returning unless a there is a dramatic improvement. More

To be honest the food is overpriced and not great. Just up the road at the cripple creek the food is superior as is the menu and price. More

Attentive staff and if you are lucky enough to go on a quiet night, the chef will offer to create a dish just for you! We chose off the main menu and were not disappointed. Food was beautifully cooked, excellent quality and nicely presented. The only quibble I could have was it was a little cold in the restuarant but... More
