Yet Again. A fantastic meal last night, the service from Callum and his crew along with the kitchen team was superb. But my biggest thanks goes to the Doorman at Curious Cat that went above and beyond to help me get in our taxi ♿️. Thankyou

The menu has CHANGED. Please look at updated online reviews since the 3rd August 2021. If you want a burger (yes they now have burgers) go to McD at a 10th of the cost.
Chips were soggy and uncooked. The tartin pastry was uncooked
My wives lobster was excellent but not the place or reputation it had. The staff was excellent but sad to say will never go back unless the food improves.
