Absolutely loved our visit to the Corner House, brilliant for a special lunch. Because it's not right there on the high st, it was quite quiet, really nice calm and airy ambience The one member of serving staff was the right amount of attentive, very friendly and professional. Delicious food, really tasty, unusual plant-based choices which is a rarity (proactively brought nondairy butter). My first visit, definitely not my last!

Lovely evening at Ivy--the sommelier helped us pick an excellent, reasonably priced wine. The food was great; we had the two-course heritage menu, which was perfect!

From start to finish, the staff could not have been more friendly, pleasant and helpful, from the security at the door, to the lovely waitress and rhe guy who I can only assume was one of the managers. A credit to the place each and every one. On top of that, the food was outstanding and reasonable, the music was a little loud for my personal taste, but I'm prob just getting on a bit!😅 Would definitely eat there again, great venue for a group booking!

Lovely staff, lovely food. Really good steaks but everything else was lovely too. Don't expect it to be as cheap as a Harvester because clearly it wont be, a decent 12oz stake will be a good £30, so allow £70 a head for a good three courses and some wine. But well worth it, really very good.
