The food was incredible, the staff were extremely friendly and helpful, and we couldn't find any faults with the place. The prices were also reasonable considering the high quality of the food and drinks. A hidden gem indeed.

Three out of four in our group ordered starters which took a while to arrive, but were tasty. After waiting forty minutes for our main courses, I had to remind the staff. Surprisingly, the food arrived within five minutes. Unfortunately, my husband's meal was lukewarm, indicating it had been sitting. Despite the restaurant not being at full capacity, the service was slow, with the chef even seen chatting with a friend near the kitchen. It's disappointing that my son and daughter-in-law had to experience such poor service after I had praised The Compass to them.

The Christmas day lunch was superb in every aspect. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere were all on point. We will definitely be coming back next year. read more The Christmas day lunch was superb in every aspect. The staff, the food, and the atmosphere were all on point.

Have been here a few times before and always had a pleasant experience, unfortunately for whatever reason this visit was a disaster for everyone,a largish group meal and other tables next to us were all left feeling thoroughly disheartened with the wait. Would be good manners to tell people on arrival that there is a 1.5 hour wait for food, the staff on floor were all very pleasant and we felt sorry for them that any business would allow their staff to be put in this predicament where abuse could quite easily happen due to excessive waiting on what is essentially basic and simply cooked food ie.. fish and chips
