Asked to be moved from a very loud group, we were offered a table in the upstairs room, this had all the atmosphere of a old people’s home bright overhead lighting and a selection of misfits hiding from the real world. Food should have saved the evening however it was so salty it was virtually inedible. Made our feelings known as we paid the bill no apology or offer on the bill. Sorry not a good experienced the bridge needs sort itself out or it may just become another Scandinavia crime drama

We happened to book on grill night where you get 2 main meals and a bottle of wine for £30. We added a fantastic starter of mushrooms in a rich cream sauce. The main steaks were perfectly cooked and generous portion sizes of chips and trimmings. Nice atmosphere with a mux of ages. Dog friendly.

A loud group made us request to be moved, and we were relocated to an upper floor area that lacked ambiance and felt like a sterile environment. The food was expected to salvage the evening but was overly salty, rendering it nearly inedible. We expressed our disappointment to the staff when we didn't see any apology or compensation on the bill. It was a disappointing experience overall, and the restaurant needs to address these issues before it becomes like another cliché Scandinavian crime drama.

The staff were friendly and attentive. We had made a booking for the barbecue evening special, which included 2 main dishes and a bottle of wine for £30. We also ordered a delicious mushroom starter with a rich cream sauce. The steaks were cooked perfectly and served in generous portions with a side of chips. The atmosphere was beautiful and elegant. The restaurant is also dog-friendly.
