So, I was so looking forward to eating here as I'd heard such good things. Sadly, my experience was not a good one at all. I ordered cauliflower and manchego croquettes ( they were more like little balls) which were ok, but the overly sweet sauce really spoiled it. The balance of flavours were all wrong in my opinion. Anyhow, I then had the braised beef cheeks (one of my favourite things to eat!), but again, they disappointed 😞. There were only 3 small pieces of meat in the dish, and I could only eat 2 of them. The third piece was kinda 'tough', not pleasant to eat, so I left it on my plate. The sauce was rather 'tangy', a bit on the acidic side. I was expecting a more deep, rich sauce which it certainly was not. Then again, it's only my personal expectation that it didn't live up to. The manager/ head/ front of house guy, was really lovely. He appolgised for the tough cheek, and consequently removed it from my bill. Very good customer service, and it was the right thing to do to be honest. Would I go again? Probably not. It's a real shame, and I really mean that, but I'm not confident I'd be impressed enough by the food they serve. The wine is decent though, and not overpriced 👍

This place is incredible! We have been a couple of times as a larger group and also a couple and every time had amazing service and great food. Every dish has so much attention to detail and awesome flavours, well worth a visit ❤️

This was one of the best restaurants for the most delicious food ever. Our taste buds were dancing. Worth travelling too. Great staff I was given the history of the restaurant. Will definitely book again. Wish there was one in Manchester.x

Fantastic meal here yesterday. Enjoyed every bite! Great vegan options. The tomato bread was so full of flavour, best dish we had!

It has taken almost two years - lockdown and all that - for us to find a restaurant that makes us feel like we have a small part of London in Sowerby Bridge of all places. Great service, ridiculously good taste, and superb quality… 🍱 If I could give this place 6 stars, I would. Ate all the food before we could snap a photograph!! Lovely atmosphere. We sat in front of the kitchen, bit too close to the door, but was interesting to watch the kitchen staff. If I could nick-pick on anything from a business perspective, it would be seeing the cooks browse their mobile phones here and there whilst in between service - but that is being really fussy! We were not offered a wine menu and the paper napkins are a small letdown. But being super fussy as I was so impressed by the place, I want it to be even better! The table staff were excellent. We ordered 10+ dishes for 2 adults and one child. Two drinks each = £90. An absolute bargain. Wish I could have sampled all the plates… I will be coming back many times! (April 2023) Returned again with my 11 year old son for an Easter treat. We love it there. The pork belly, anchovies and chorizo are lovely. The cauliflower dish was lovely - great for vegetarians - but not for me. Heart and Soul (Vocation) on tap 🍺 too. Parking 🅿️ immediately outside if anyone needs to know.

Top Notch Nosh! Hitting above loads of London restaurants trying to accomplish a similar menu and style with a meal you couldn't have there for double the money+ with their 6 out of the park. That tuna's a stunner. Must try!

This is my new favourite local restaurant, serving up stunning world tapas style dishes, we went for valentines day and it was flawless, great service, great food, great atmosphere! What’s not to love! I would highly recommend it!

Lovely venue, friendly staff, excellent service and delicious food. Definitely worth a visit, very popular so be sure to book. ❤️
