Went on Friday and had a great meal with my partner. The Venison Carpaccio was wonderful and the thick cut pork main was top notch. The service was good although the waitress forgot a few things and had to come back to double check as well as some things not being in to make certain cocktails. But hey that stuff happens and didn't take away from a great dining experience

We decided to try this restaurant based on the reviews and photos and we were not disappointed. We had the mushroom dish and the mussels to start, followed by the lamb dish and veg gnocchi for mains. The gnocchi is quite filling, so be aware if you don't have the biggest appetite. Somehow we managed a pudding too; chocolate terrine, which was heavenly and a sticky toffee pudding. The latter is something I wouldn't normally choose, but having tried some of my partner's serving I may just have it on our next visit. If you are a custard fan then just be aware that it isn't on offer with the puddings
