Looks great and seems to be the place to be seen. Almost impossible to book as they never seem to respond to emails, and was difficult to get through on the phone. Eventually managed to drop in for a Sunday breakfast though. Nothing massively wrong but no positives of note. Portions were on the small side for the money and... More

We ate here on Sunday night, interestingly enough most restaurants are closed on Sunday evening, therefore seeing as this was rated and open we thought we would give it a go. It's a pizza place with some added interest in charcuterie. We ordered starters and Pizza main courses, and then did wait for some while, but when the food turned... More

Despite the restaurant being fully booked me and my mother were accommodated and offered seats outside whilst a table was prepared for us. We were given a jug of water straight away without having to ask and this was later refilled (again without us having to ask). The waiting staff were all brilliant, quick to take our orders, ask if... More

Met up with friends Bank Holiday, had a great meal, thoroughly nice place, felt as if I was right in the middle of Cosmopolitan London,, bare bricked walls. Great place, my friend unfortunately tipped a cocktail over me, which wasn't a problem, and I'm sure she didn't mean to do it bless her as she kept apologising all evening for... More

I had been raving on about this place to our friends, we brought them over on our boat on a murky sunday 2 weeks ago. The staff were super friendly and I cant fault them, however the food was poor and stingy. We had starters and roast dinners, 2 slices of meat and not large slices, 1 roast potatoe cut... More

First time I have been since the extension has opened. It was very busy and bits were still really good. Staff are great albeit a bit flustered. Food has gone down a bit. We ordered crab linguine which has always been good . Little crab and even less linguine ! Pizzas from the new oven are ok but not great,... More
