    We really enjoyed the personal and attentive attitude by staff, especially as my husband is visably disabled . Cocktails were very good. We booked an evening meal.Service, again very attentive and personal.We both tried monkfish for the first time.I had scampi monk fish.Very disappointed as very dry.My husband had the monkfish Thai curry with prawns.Absolutely outstanding ! Creme brulee the best I've had and cheesecake also very good but without the sour cherry compote, which was a shame. Staff and matra de impeccable.

    Your menu and food is outstanding and we had a great time staying and eating with you. I did feel as though staff were slightly sparse so created a vibe of staff at max capacity and playing catchup to people with longer waits than is ideal Food was brilliant and staff were friendly and trying to deliver the best they could. That’s all you can ask for from a person
