Honestly one of my top 2 dining experiences, and I worked as a chef for years in London. The food was beautifully prepared and tasted amazing, the wines were impeccably chosen and recommended....but it's the staff I will come back for. So friendly, so helpful, and so fun. Incredible.

Really nice food. Visited on a recommendation and glad I did. Colleagues have said this is the best place when on an overnight in the area and I can see why they say it. Nice food, great staff, good menu, reasonable prices. If you like wine there is literally a wine recommendation against every food and in every direction you look.

This place is such a gem, my partner and I love it! Staff were friendly and inviting - wine was fantastic! I especially like how each dish has a suggested wine pairing, it's an awesome touch!

This is such a traditional, atmospheric Restuarant. Our host, Fay, looked after us so well. I had the steak and kidney pie with jacket potato, fabulous! Of course I started with white port, very nice and good measure. Sawdust on the floor is a great touch. Comprehensive wine list. Would thoroughly recommend a visit to this cosy Restuarant

This hidden little gem is a delight. Never knew it was there until last night. Their food gives pie a whole new definition and meaning. The girls on the service were brilliant, lovely decor and ambience. Cheers guys.

An atmospheric basement restaurant and wine bar with excellent food and obviously a great drinks selection. Really efficient and friendly staff - our waiter Max was brilliant. Rigorous Covid precautions in place and tables have ample space around them.
