  A pub so easily accessible and yet so quiet and peaceful. One of those places when you want peace and quiet along with good food. The food has a Mediterranean influence and serves lovely dishes. We had the set menu and since one of the dishes was not available we were offered a choice from the ala karte. We had a pint of prava (loved this Czech lager), baked brie wrapped in parma ham and mozzarella cheese salad with tomatoes which was lovely. For the mains we went for the Thai style fishcake and chicken breast with mash and salad. Total comfort food and very tasty. The fishcake was slightly dry, but all in all I enjoyed it with the salad and lemon dressing. Good service, lovely ambience especially outdoor seating in summers for a proper quality time to spend with your company.

  Full points for ambience, not so much for my drink though ;( Since it’s located in a quieter street, it doesn’t get too crowded and you can have a decent conversation without screaming 🙂 The pimms I ordered was way too watery, and that did put me off a bit. The beer was amazingly fresh though.

  A sublime experience from the moment we arrived at the door to the moment we left. The staff was warm and welcoming. Nothing was too much trouble. Thoughtful recommendations on dishes and wine.Every mouthful was an experience, with layers of flavour and complexity.Definitley will be back.

  Bday dinner delight!. I was very pleased with selecting this restaurant for my boyfriend’s bday dinner party with 10 friends. Their advertised dinner special of 2 courses for 15 and 3 courses for 18 is was the deciding factor in selecting this restaurant above others. The free bottle of wine because we were celebrating a bday was a bonus.The pros – casual relaxed atmosphere, food was amazing – everyone polished off their meals and the plates were left food free, no issues with the meals as they were all delivered at once and within good timing and the waitresses knew exactly who was having what, the shots of limoncello during dessert was also a nice gesture, the waitresses were friendly enough and the service was prompt. Also, they werent even asked – but when they brought out the bday boy’s dessert, they had a lit candle in it – I highly recommend this place for bday dinners!! You are well looked after.Cons – Obviously with a set menu, you expect only a few choices (there were 2-3 per course), however they ran out of the fish main which left only the vegetarian option and one other meat option. With dessert there were only 2 options and they ran out of the most popular one (the rasberry panacotta). This was a bit annoying as they didn’t offer a substitute to replace it. The thing is, it was midweek and not incredibly busy, so it was a tad bit annoying that they didn’t make enough, especially knowing that a table of 10 were going to be in that night. That would not stop me from dining here again! Food was delish and great value for money!

  Though with fab ambience and service, the very core element of a restaurant called food was disappointing. The vegetables served with tuna loin tasted of nothing like being procured from some charity allotment doing off season greenhouse farming. The utter disappointment was definitely reduced by open-eared staff and manager who offered the dessert on the house. Might give the place a second chance but they definitely need to look into quality of their supplies.
