We were a group of 12 which i realize is sometimes tricky for restaurants, however we booked in advance and agreed to a £30 ph set 3 course menu. Apart from the venue which is (another) identikit pub conversion - this restaurant is to be avoided at all costs - the food is pretentious nonsense that verges on disgusting - a starter or skate and avocado mashed up in a ball of caramel followed by breast of veal that apparently been cooked for 14 hours (for the life of me i can not understand why this is a good thing) that was covered in a thick rubber blanket of soy milk - it really was as tasteless and revolting as it sounds. Finally pudding was a bowl of frothy spittle with some over sweetened ice-cream. Furthermore each course was miniscule (about the size of a hens egg) and with no bread or veg accompaniment therefore prior to the pudding I asked our surly waiter if we could order another course or some accompaniments – after he refused I attempted to talk to the manager/chef to explain that we had only been fed enough to nourish a mouse – this was also refused as he said he was too busy but he would ask on our behalf - he returned a few moment later and said the restaurant was too busy and it would be too expensive for us to have any more food… This pretty much summed up the place up ridiculous pretentious nonsense.
I paid the bill for £550 + never to return
Amazingly inventive food with plenty of fresh flavours and interesting textures which is great value. Set in beautifully converted pub, with plenty of space and atmosphere. You can also spend a few hours over dinner without being rushed out the door. Friendly and attentive service.
