    Delicious food, wonderful service and a great ambience. The staff were very knowledgeable and enjoyed a bit of banter! The flavours were diverse with each course. The wine flight unique. Home brew anyone? Just outstanding.

    Stage is a wonderful experience, the food and drink is exceptional. Everything I ate was utterly delicious and the servers are so attentive and just fabulous at their jobs. I highly recommend getting the drinks flight that pairs with each dish, the non alcoholic option is just as fun as the alcohol option. I’ve been twice now and am already planning my third trip.

    We really loved the simple, relaxed and unpretentious atmosphere at Stage. Our seat in the window was perfect to catch a glimpse of the sun on a winter’s day. All the waiting team knew their stuff and were friendly and approachable. We had the 4 course lunch with drinks flight which was interesting, carefully paired and pleasantly alcoholic without being too heavy for lunchtime. I loved the pig’s head fritter with pigs liver sauce - as an occasional meat eater it was extremely tasty. Our only criticism was that the pescatarian alternative to this dish didn’t seem to reflect the same taste values and complexity….although our son didn’t complain! We would highly recommend trying some of the bread as an extra side dish - light, fluffy and served with delicious butter. Perfect for mopping up sauces! We would definitely dine here again.

    We absolutely loved our six course weekend lunch complemented by the drinks flight. The flavours are intense and each dish delicious. It is a must do sensory experience!
