Visited at 8pm, 05/03, table for two. The food was absolutely amazing. Salmon pate starter and 10oz sirloin for me, mussels and Nidderdale trout for my partner.

If we had our own restaurant, we 'd want them to work in it, they were so good! Absolutely phenomenal. A perfect evening, will always recommend to friends and family!!

We had most amazing meal back in April and have been meaning to leave a review as both the meal service was impeccable we really can't wait to return. Thanks again
