There is a seasonal menu so you may not get what has been reviewed, but just go. Deep flavoursome meats with clever sides😋

We hadn't eaten here for some years, having had a poor experience on our previous visit. However, I am glad to say that the quality has improved immensely, and this is now firmly on my list of favourite local restaurants.
It's a bit cramped for space and nearly always busy, so be prepared for a noisy, boisterous environment. But the menu, although small, has interesting selections and caters moderately well for veggie and vegan options. You can tell you're in for an interesting mean when you see that one of the starters is scallops with... popcorn? Gets my vote!

After many a recommendation I finally got here. Lunch was superb quality and value and friendly staff who tolerated my humour. Nice space do not all crammed in and affordable fine dining . My tiniest issue was the cheese was too cold ….. that’s a first world problem right there

Fantastic. Had the pleasure of having my birthday dinner here and couldn’t have enjoyed it more. Two stand out dishes were the Scallops and the syrup Sponge with Apricot. The staff are great too, really easy to talk to and very attentive. There’s a reason this place is Michelin rated. If you’re reading this just go, it’s worth every penny.
