Reviews
The food, the atmosphere… everything was exceptional. I don’t know how to say it, but it’s almost something more than just a restaurant. Maybe it’s the intimate size of the place, or getting to sit at the bar and see everything come together. Whatever it is, the team have definitely got something special going on in that kitchen! We tried a good selection of dishes, but I can’t really pick a favourite. Each one had something special about it. It’s all genuinely really good food with fun and tasty twists. ‘Small plates’ probably doesn’t do it justice, they’re proper generous portions! I just wish I’d visited sooner, but what a treat to visit for the greatest hits menu and I can’t wait to visit again!
🫛 scallops, pea & ham hock 🦪 fried oysters 🥔 potato sourdough 🎃 blood sausage croquettes w pumpkin and bbq pear 🐑 bbq lamb neck skewers each dish was so creative yet wonderfully simple and the flavours were out of this world, the croquettes and lamb were my favourites of the night. This place deserves all of the great reviews and all the great press
Absolutely fantastic meal, the menu changes monthly and this was my first visit. Even my very traditional mother enjoyed it! The plantain banoffee and croquettes and smash burger were my personal highlights Can’t wait to try and get another booking in soon!
Exceptional food. Mushrooms were my favourite, loved the garlic sauce and parmesan (?) cheese it came with - and no sparing on the sauce amounts. Proper size portions! Pork rib-eye was exceptionally tender, and the way that the apple sauce combined with the prune and pig's head croquettes was very clever - kind of tastes of mince pie with them all together, but eat the apple sauce or croquettes alone then it doesn't. Wish I could come every month...alas...too much else on my to-do list. But our paths will cross again. Note that it is a wee bit smokey inside...took a minute or two to acclimatise.
Finally! Got to chow down on the Basque menu and everything we ate and drank was delicious. Service was warm and on point. Yes it's not cheap but why should it be, you're paying for flavour and quality and it shows. Hoping to get back for the "best of" menu in September...or fingers crossed for another smash burger pop up (please!!)
