We asked for a quietish table and were given one promptly without question. We thought this was a very good start and thereafter everything went very smoothly: helpful and friendly waitress, excellent service and all four of us were impressed with the delicious food.

Quality of food was excellent and we were served by people who were (mostly) bright and cheerful. A memorable festive get together with family and loved the big round table (so much better than the long narrow table at a different venue in Oxford in Dec 2023)
