Reviews
Had a beautiful dinner here with my husband. We live locally and had eaten at Robin's pop up previously. His food is amazing and menu both fresh and seasonal. The Counter is small but packs a great punch with friendly professional staff. Does get quite warm in the window seats and gets busy as the evening goes on but that is to be expected. Top end of the price range but absolutely worth it.
Beautiful food - we had the 5 course tasting menu plus the cheese course. Great wine menu. We loved all the courses, the staff were all great and very attentive. I was slightly disappointed with where we were sat in a corner near the door but the music was brilliant.
It’s not often you go to a restaurant and the tunes are as good as the food. It’s all about the menu obviously but the way Robin and the team go about their work is so chilled, it helps create this wonderful atmosphere in which to enjoy it all.
We had the 10 course all-in counter experience and I’m so glad we did. I love a bar and Robin was engaged and informative. I’m not sure my words will do the food justice, other than to say I can’t see how anyone would be disappointed here. They did a great job of accommodating my wife’s no red meat request.
We’re going back as soon as the menu changes next month. TW is pretty lucky I think to have a place like this. The pudding wine menu looks well worth exploring for those that like this sort of a drop!
An absolute pleasure to visit this gorgeous little gem of a restaurant. The 10-course tasting menu, sitting at the counter and watching the chefs, was a delight of exquisite tastes, and we had an additional cheese course between us. A truly magical evening.
This was an incredibly special evening, and we went for "The Counter" experience and got to sample the full menu.
We liked the warm interior and the friendly hospitality. And we also appreciated how there was an effort to be "efficient" with the food and produce and waste as little as possible.
I shall let the pictures do most of the talking, but basically, I enjoyed every single bite and I say this as someone who historically really doesn't like fish!
My other half had the wine pairings and liked nearly all of them! The Muscat in particular was a special mention.
