Great meal with a few things that could be improved. I thought the food was overall great, but one small part in each of two courses were over-salted. Wine list great. The service was young and inexperienced and not to the standard at other Michelin starred restaurants. The need to invest more time educating the staff maybe. In contrast, the manager was really helpful and knowledgeable about the food and wine. Atmosphere was ok, room a bit big maybe to encourage this or maybe that we were located at one end of it?
Post Christmas Present to each other. Excellent food and Wine, it deserves its Michelin Star.the staff are very friendly and helpful Totally recommend we shall return..
Last went a couple of years ago when I would have rated it 5 stars.. this time it's a 4. Reasons, although it cost less than our previous visit, we felt the quality of the food had been reduced to cater for that. Every mouthful on our previous visit was met with smiles due to the flavours of each dish from the tasting menu.. this time this didn't happen. Although good, starters definitely didn't have the wow factor at all, normal in taste just that they were fine, a 3 out of 5. Main courses were good though, still no wow feeling like previous visit, but still lovely (4 out of 5) and desserts were similar very good but not outstanding, 4 out of 5. Add in a £60 bottle of wine and a service charge, it makes it a pricey day for a good meal.. not a memorable meal which we had 2 years ago, which cost more but made us want to come back at a future date.. unfortunately our recent experience disappointed us slightly and we will have to go somewhere else to try and get that feeling again.
We went for a lunch sample menu on a Saturday. The food was perfectly balanced and not one course disappointed. The portions initially may look small, but with the number of courses and the flavours that come through, it is satisfying and scrumptious, and we did not leave hungry, like some people have mentioned. I feel people making those comments don't actually appreciate beautifully crafted and balanced meals. I also chose the additional cheese board, which I expected to be quite small, but it wasn't. There was a very good amount of cheese for the extra cost. I would definitely opt for it again. We opted for the wine pairing to go with the courses, and they were perfectly matched to either complement or cut through the flavours. The staff member explaining the wine was very professional and knowledgeable. The atmosphere was great, in the gorgeous wonky listed building. It has been decorated and celebrated well. Love the exposed brick and the large fireplace. The staff were knowledgeable, kind, and very attentive. We will definitely be going back for an evening meal.
Lovely place, great ambience, feels very cozy and intimate. The food was great, balanced courses, great flavours. The starter was splendid, would come back just for it. The lamb was great, even if the star of the course was actually the vegetables and purée. The dessert was one of the best I’ve had, I hope to have it again in the near future. It loses one star because compared to other similarly starred restaurants I’ve been in Europe, it is more expensive for the experience it provides. More than a single starter is a staple, and ongoing bread and butter wouldn’t hurt also. Other than those it’s an experience I would recommend.
