Christmas Dinner at its finest! Fabulous meal and atmosphere. My husband had as a starter smoked salmon terrine. A palette cleansing sorbet. As a mains, a 28-day beef sirloin and for dessert, a cheese board. I had as my starter Venison. A palette cleansing sorbet. As my mains a turkey, Christmas Dinner and for dessert, lemon pavlova. We ended our meal with coffee and truffles! If you don't want the fuss of cooking or cleaning up afterwards at Christmas, I would suggest visiting here. It was expensive but worth every penny!

Excellent polite service but unfortunately the food looked better than it tasted. The chicken wings were Luke warm & the steak pie had very tough pastry.
