Always an occasional treat favourite, so pleased they've reopened after/despite all the Boris Bug turmoil. Food always yummy, especially the steaks. Most recent visit marred by crazily deep bass on the slightly louder than usual background music, which not only made my ears ache but was literally making my seat vibrate. Uncharacteristic and hopefully not a new feature.

It was juicy and had nice condiments-loved the pickles! They even added grilled
