“We ate here this evening and couldn’t find fault. A vast menu. We had scallops and chorizo starter from the specials; Duck Dolce Vita and one of the Pizza’s for mains. Absolutely delicious! Desserts were delicious. Service great. Attentive. Reasonably priced. Definitely recommend. We will revisit.”

“My family went on Saturday evening at 7.45 . The restaurant was buzzing. Our table was on time (5 dining) . The staff were very friendly and attentive. The menu is extensive and our food was delicious. Large portions. It’s the second time we have been in an evening and once for lunch. Always a pleasure. It’s nice to see the same staff, not a high turnover which speaks volumes . Thank you for a lovely evening x”

“We had a 23 person meal booked for my mum suprise birthday meal on a Saturday afternoon. We pre booked our meals which was a huge help. Saves a lot of time and confusion over menus and deciding. When we arrived , the staff were helpful with the ‘suprise’ and attended to us all swiftly. The food was amazing. No complaints from anyone . The presentation of the food, portions and taste were perfect . So KUDOS to the kitchen staff for having 23 meals ready to go. Brilliant. We’ll Definitely go back to this location soon as we couldn’t fault anything. Thank you to all the staff !”

“Celebrated johns 40th birthday yesterday with this meal it was lovely great service & plenty of people celebrating their birthdays too was great to see”

“Visited this restaurant within the last week and I’m still thinking about it — it was that good! There’s such a great variety on the menu, so there’s definitely something for everyone. When a place is fully booked and buzzing on a Wednesday night, you just know you’re in for something special — and this place did not disappoint at all. To start, I had the duck and garlic bread, which was cooked perfectly and full of flavour. For my main, I went with the lamb shank — it just fell off the bone and melted in the mouth, genuinely one of the best I’ve had anywhere. Finished it all off with a chocolate brownie for dessert, which was rich, gooey, and absolutely delicious. Service was top notch too — 10/10. All the staff were so lovely, friendly and attentive without being overbearing. They really added to the whole experience. There were only a couple of tiny negatives, and they really didn’t spoil the evening. Our table was quite close to where the staff clean or put away the cutlery, so there was a fair bit of clattering and noise at times — but honestly, it’s just something to keep in mind if you like a quieter spot. Also, the car park is a good size but there aren’t any marked bays, so some people park however they like and end up taking up two spaces — not the restaurant’s fault but worth knowing if you’re driving. But honestly, these were very minor things in what was otherwise an amazing night. The food alone is worth coming back for — I’d happily give it an 11/10 if I could. And little touches like getting extra Biscoff biscuits with my coffee at the end just made it feel that bit more special. Thank you so much to all the team for a fantastic evening — I’ll definitely be back soon and can’t wait to try even more from the menu! Highly recommend to anyone thinking of booking — you won’t be disappointed! ”
