UPDATE.   We’ve been advised that this restaurant has now changed hands.  We will undertake an updated review soon.

Original Post.

Well worth a visit but do book up in advance. There is normally a two week waiting list for a Friday/Saturday Evening. We arrived by chance to squeeze in on the back of a cancellation and sat down in anticipation of what was about to be served. The menu looked impressive, not to long, but clear and easily understood. The wine list was extensive and well thought out. We could not fault the food when it came to the starter and main course but were sadly disappointed with the deserts. The starter was well cooked and presented and clearly prepared by an experienced chef. As was the main course, which continued to impress with its flavour and quality of cooking. Thinking we had now found a new regular haunt we therefore looked forward to trying the desert. This is where it all fell apart. After presenting two great dishes beforehand we could not understand why the place would be happy selling ‘bought in’ deserts. I reckon they came from ‘Brake Brothers’, a well known supplier of ready made food to pubs and hotels. We would still recommend the place, but only if you skip desert so as not to be disappointed.
