The decor and ambience is great. They even had live music, which was a pleasant surprise.
Would highly recommend!
Staff were friendly and welcoming.
Sadly a couple of downsides.
Ordered a bottle of wine when booking the table (for my wife's birthday), but we were asked for drinks before the meal, and the bottle we ordered didn't appear until I prompted them. No big deal, but makes a nonsense of pre-ordering during booking.
Service was very slow, apparently some issues in the kitchen the evening we were there.
Starters were good, if somewhat delayed, but mains were only okay, particularly for £60 a head. Pastry was charred on both pies we ordered, and one side dish was lukewarm at best, and had to be returned to be heated.
We had booked at just before 8pm, and the restaurant slowly emptied throughout our meal, to the point where only we were left in the room, where we then seemed to be abandoned. No offer of dessert, or coffee, or even if we wanted the bill. So simply left and paid at the bar on the way out.
Unlikely to go again, which is a shame, The White Hart next door provides a much better eating experience.
Definitely recommend for the great atmosphere and service!
