The atmosphere was electric when I arrived. There were no tables left, but I was still approached by the owner, who reassured me and did everything he could to get me seated. The service from all the team was spot on. It was as though I was the only guest, despite them having a full house. That is how efficient they are. The food is top quality. The waiting time amazing. I would want to visit that village just to eat here again. For travellers using Stansted Airport, this is a perfect place to eat.

Fantastic meal with friends. Yummy food and amazing cocktails. I have a severe allergy to lupin, peanuts and nuts and the staff catered for me with no problems and I felt completely safe and was able to enjoy my meal. We will definitely be returning!

An extensive menu with a nice atmosphere. Our starters were lovely and drinks arrived quickly. My main course was okay but a huge portion, my partner said his was nice. Dessert was also nice. The service was good, got a bit forgotten about towards the end. Atmosphere was good but got very noisy at one point so not a place for dinner and chatting!

First and last time at this establishment. Service was awful, we were tucked away in a corner and forgotten about. Menu clearly states ability to add second Fajita for 14.95 and when I queried my bill as it didnt look right they got funny about it. Also, price for Martini increased after 9pm and when queried I was told because it came from the bar as opposed to?? I still left a tip but wish I hadnt now. Put simply, over priced, substandard food and poor service. Nice cocktails I have to admit, but Mayfair prices in a very tired, old and clichd restaurant. I'll be looking elsewhere
