  • Went for Sunday lunch with friends and it was excellent. We had Sunday roasts and bloody Mary;s and I havn't had one that good in a long time. we only intended to stay for a few hours but ended up being there for 4 1/2 hours as it was so cosy and we where so well looked after. Highly recomended. Just go

  • Sat in the bar not the restaurant but they still let us have the restaurant menu. 4 of us had a mixture of beers and wines and then 4 burgers which where incredible. The staff are so friendly and the service very efficient. They even gave us some of their home made bourbon baileys as a sweetener at the end of our lunch. Can't fault it. can't wait to go back for dinner. TJ

  • Read the reviews and was dubious but was really glad we went. Table of 4 a little last minute and the manager was really accommodating. Food was excellent, steak tartar, baby squid and stuffed pigs trotter. The real surprise was the service and how on the ball the waiting staff where. It was a busy Friday night and we had waited about 15 minutes for our mains which we where fine with, then the waiter came over to keep us informed that our food would be another 3-4 minutes and bang on que it came out. Steak, bacon chop, salad and a grilled sea bass where all fantastic. Didn't go for desert but saw huge sundaes coming out and pondered over whether to have one or not, but too full. All in all, surprised was the first emotion but then very very satisfied (stuffed!!). What was even better was that we where offered a table at their sister bar Callooh Callay and they looked after us very well over there as well. Great night, fab drinks great food and awesome service. Top notch

  • Pre-ordered our meat for a group booking sunday roast so really no excuse to wait over an hour after being seated for our food, especially when the restaurant was not busy in the slightest. By the time we were brought the sides and condiments the meat was lukewarm at best. The bar for pre-dinner drinks was also very slow so overall, it was overpriced and unorganised for a so-so Sunday roast. Won't be rushing back.

  • Incredibly disappointing! This place had so much promise, sadly it was dreadful. I was so excited by the menu but in reality it was boring, unimaginative, poorly presented, poorly seasoned, poor value for money - just poor all round! I had a shrimp starter which was actually laughable. It was 3 king prawns fresh out of a supermarket 'ready to eat' packet, on a couple of leaves of lettuce with a cup of watery coriander and chilli. The Pork Rumpy was so dry it was inedible. The staff were very nice and did their best. It is just the food that lets the place down. I would not recommend this place or go back. It's a nice little venue and the bar is great, if they sorted out the food it could be a real success.

  • Ohhhhh Dear. We saw the BAD reviews and thought we'd give it the benefit of the doubt but don't make the mistake of eating here. To quote Jay Rayner: "It is one long masterclass in disappointment". We sat at our 9pm table for 20 minutes before being offered a drink. The rib meat was completely tasteless and adding the so called BBQ sauce added little more. The bacon chop was acceptable but as with all the other dishes, slightly on the cold side. Overpriced and disappointing we will not return. £65 meal for 2... we didn't pay the service charge of 12.5% as it really was not worth it. Complained to the staff in detail and still expected to pay the full bill. Sorry beard to tail - a LOT more effort needed !!!

  • Good drinks, terrible food. Nice enough place and good cocktails as you'd expect but the food was very poor. 7 of us were there for dinner, we had to send three steaks back that were all overcooked. Quality of the ribs were also bad with not much meat on them and too much fat. The 'deconstructed prawn cocktail' should be restructured elsewhere entirely. If you want good meat go elsewhere.

  • 12 of us went last night and we were disappointed on quite a few fronts. It's definitely much more expensive than it should be. The portions aren't particularly big, and our Featherblade dishes were either finished or cold by the time the accompanying flat bread arrived as an afterthought.
