    Over priced and less than great food. 8 pounds for 2 rolls and a piece of foccacia is ridiculous. The onion fondue starter was overpriced as well. Commercial pot pies would be on a par with the chicken one. The chocolate dessert was poorly made with white chocolate that was so thick that it couldn't be broken with a fork.

    Staff are lovely, food was amazing. The overall ambience is gorgeous. Our table and chairs were super comfy, felt like a special night out. My husband had the ox cheek and I had the scallops and it was all cooked to perfection too . Cocktails were a bit pricey but delicious. Would recommend and return a second time

    Met friends for lunch and was able to have small plate with a side. It was their new menu. Had the Haggis cigars. Highly recommended.

    Lovely meal. Wasn’t that clear the field burger was veggie -maybe me being stupid but being under bacon and cheese one I assumed was a plain version. Could be clearer Disappointed to not get egg card discount advertised on egg website for 20% off food and drink as was sole reason we booked. Kind server gave us the march deal of 20% off food but obvs not as good as the discount on drink too. Maybe a bit too attentive as felt a bit harassed at times. Ambiance is lovely and is a great venue Make a fab negroni!
