    The ‘15 days of Christmas’ deal is fantastic! 3 courses (with veggie options) for £28 pp - what’s not to love? Look it up online - and then book via openTable app. Staff wonderful, food wonderful, ambience also same

    We both really enjoyed our pork fillet with braised red cabbage and a side order of charred Brussels and brocoli. The flavours were fantastic, really delicious. The crisp NZ sauvignon blanc we drank was a perfect accompaniment for it. We declined a dessert, my friend has a nut allergy and there wasn't an option that she fancied. We loved the ambience and decor of this beautiful old school building. We had a really lovely experience and would definitely go again.
