I have booked a table for a birthday dinner. We were warmly greeted by the host and showed to the table, where a birthday card was waiting, this was a nice touch. Unfortunately from there it went worse. We were given only the wine list (no other drink menu). As it was the birthday we went for non-alcoholic champagne (sounds interesting), but unfortunately it was just a sparkling juice… for £12 a glass (!!!) what an absolute ripoff.
From the menu we have ordered:
- cheese donuts - interesting flavours, would definitely order again
- scotch egg - £16 for a tiny egg with not much meat on it… I thought it was a joke…
As for mains we went for lamb and duck £32 each, and I must say, both were really tasty, tender, beautifully plated. With that we had a side of garlic mashed potatoes and charred hispi cabbage, both being very good.
- dessert - miso caramel ice cream - again very interesting flavours, definitely something worth trying.
Service unfortunately was very lacking for such a venue. Felt like people haven’t got much training/experience. We were constantly forgotten, waiting ages to place order, sides weren’t delivered with main course. Waiting for the bill and then option to pay it, took probably 15-20min. It definitely left much to desire.
It’s a nice place and you can get a good food, with interesting flavours, but you have to be careful with your orders as £24 for 2 glasses of sparkling juice and £16 for a tiny and average tasting scotch egg, leaves really bad aftertaste…
