Excellent food. We ordered duck, sirloin steak, rib eye, Chicken Tikka Masala, and sea bass, and it was all excellent. Our server was amazing, and overheard that it was my daughter's birthday and brought her a sweet surprise. Such a lovely ambiance. We went when it was quiet, at 5:15. Not sure why there were no available reservations on OpenTable for anything between 5 and 9:30 pm.

Compliments to the chef and his staff for once again a wonderful Sunday Carvery Lunch. All restaurant staff extremely friendly and helpful. I have 2 elderly parents with mobility issues but there is always plenty of space in the restaurant. Wish you did the Carvery more often. Will be going again as my parents are small eaters and being able to choose how much and what they want is brilliant. Thank you all so much.
