One of the best meals I had in 2021. The food is absolutely delicious. It is fine dining, but you don't need large portions as the food is rich and packed with flavour. The staff are attentive, polite and the surroundings beautiful. Definitely going back as many times as I can afford

Sunday roast was outstanding, exceptional quality (and halal). Service was equally good - the team looked after us so so well and were lovely to our kids (thank you for the great activity books). Great family birthday lunch. We will certainly be back again and again

Wait staff was amazing. Food quite good. Seemed a bit too corporate. Its hard to articulate, but didnt seem like it belonged in a 5 star hotel. The restaurant is huge. The sticky pudding was so delicious!
