Reviews
We have been several times and the food is always so good we decided to have our wedding reception in the upstairs private dining space - we could not have had a more perfect meal! Every single bite was cooked and seasoned to perfection. They use exceptional ingredients. The menu is both modern and traditional so it’s a good place for families - our friends in their 30s loved it just as much as some of our older guests. No notes!
We held our wedding lunch at here on the 12th October 2024, and everything about our lunch was just perfect. The food was out of this world - the pork fat and scotch bonnet on toast was incredible, and the main course lamb, and salted caramel brownie for dessert, utterly delicious. The service was impeccable, with everything happening effortlessly and almost invisibly, meaning we could just focus on the occasion. We’d 100% recommend the CA for private events, and hope to visit again soon for lunch. 10 out of 10!! Thank you!
A warm room filled with the friendly bustle of a neighbourhood pub.
The food is excellent for a pub, but my one gripe is that it is gratuitously greasy. The „pork-fat” toast is soaked in lard by design. But then, the „buttered” greens, noodles, fish… all swim in pools of melted butter as well. The salad vinaigrette has the thickness of mayonnaise, smothering out any mustardy tang; the horseradish sauce is creamed to the point of being a thick white blob with no bite.
Adding lashings of fat is a shortcut to make meat and vegetables look shiny and taste indulgent, but it’s a trick that then leaves the eater feeling heavy and groggy after a single plate of food.
Please consider being a bit more balanced to let proper cooking shine through. (Or offer the sauces on the side…)
Super delicious, worth it for the roast! Beer onions on toast was gobbled quickly and was super flavourful. Roast chicken and pie were really good! Good size mains actually. Pie can easily feed 3 with a few other bits. Flavour of sticky toffee was nice, but consistency was a little off, more condensed and not really fluffy. Bloody Mary's perfect amount of spice and cheap at under £10
The beef and bone marrow pie, mussels, corn, and pork fat on toast were excellent - albeit a tad too salty. Had a house ginger beer as well, which was sadly quite weak in flavour; the wine was great though!
