We booked as a group of 4 people and having lunch here was my idea as I am Vegan and I was impressed by what meals were available to me.
My Vegan meal and my 3 Friends omnivore meals did not disappoint! Serving and quality of our meals was in every way Perfect! However, that day, I couldn't get a drink or dessert as there was no alternative to dairy for milk. And NO Dessert that was free from Animal products and that was very dissapointing.
We arrived and were seated in a Very Cramped table layout. We were between two sets of empty tables for two place settings on either side of us. They very quickly filled up along with the tables behind and we were soon competing for our conversations to be heard!
Unless this situation changes. I don't think I would return for a Lunch outs with Friends.

First time visiting as recommended by a friend of a friend. Decided to have a Sunday Roast as Iβve not had one for a while and the majority of the plate was spot on, especially the meat and gravy. Roast potatoes and green were a little tough, but not inedible.
Dessert was 10/10 and would highly recommend getting this if you have any space spare after your meal. (Bueno brownie with Biscoff Ice Cream)
Atmosphere felt a tad weird, almost like talking normally was too loud for some reason, whether thatβs the environment or the current clientele that were present.
Main waitress was spot on, great customer service and helped with any questions we had with ease. Front of house/manager (I believe) kind of ruined the visit a little (maybe rushed off her feet or just having a bad day perhaps), however it didnβt deter the experience overall.
Overall Iβd visit again and would suggest others to visit too to help out the local.

The food was amazing, the chicken burger was perfect, and the gravy sauce complimented it perfectly. The food came relatively fast, with overall pleasant waiters. the exterior of the building is lovely, very well lit, and the dining area of the Building was nice, however they sat us in the back with high chairs which wasn't ideal. The Monday night quiz is a blast, so much fun participating, and the contestants and host takes it seriously.

Came here for an evening drink and a bit of atmosphere, but 45 minutes before closing, the staff went full βpub apocalypse modeβ β music, TV's and lights off everywhere except a dramatic spotlight by the bar. I half expected a pub-themed episode of Survivor to start.
We asked (very politely, may I add) if they could pop the music back on while we finished the pints we just bought β but no joy. The response was a firm βnahβ, with the unspoken subtext of βweβre done here, mate.β One senior staff member explained, with great mystery, that they βhave a business to runβ β which apparently means switching off vibes well before closing time. Perhaps theyβre saving on electricity to fund the sequel: The Silence of the Ales.
Itβs a shame β we really wanted to like this place. But if you enjoy sipping beer in awkward silence under interrogation lighting while the staff telepathically urge you to leave, this is the spot for you.
Weβll stick to the other bars from now on β you know, the ones that actually like having customers. Cheers! (But quietly. With the lights off.)

Absolutely lovely Meal Saturday night for my wifes birthday, a real busy bar and restaurant, only dissapointing thing was we both really fancied a fillet steak and were all sold out.
Overall great service and lovely food.

Nice place this. We called in for some food , we hadn't booked but a table was available. The food is very nice. Not the cheapest place but it is good. The drinks are expensive especially the wine. Nice place to go to for a special occasion .
