My partner initially ordered hake with chowder, but ended up preferring my monkfish curry when it arrived. I was more than happy to switch, as I have never been a fan of monkfish and found the hake to look quite succulent (despite her not touching it). We swapped plates, and I was immediately pleased with the exchange. The fish was indeed succulent with a slight crispness to the skin. The chowder was delicious, especially with a bit of pepper. I would definitely order it again if given the chance tomorrow.

The food was delicious and Jamie provided excellent service as our waiter. read more The food was delicious and Jamie provided excellent service as our waiter.

My guests said they were happy to eat in the bar but maybe they were just being polite.I found the seats too low to eat comfortably at the table and would have preferred the bright spacious ambience of the restaurant. Other members of my family have had the same experience on previous occasions, I wonder why they avoid using the beautiful restaurant.

The food was fantastic, but I was disappointed when my 94-year-old mother dropped her bread roll that came with the Prawn Cocktail. I asked the waitress if we could have another one, but she returned from the kitchen and informed us that there would be a charge for another roll or we could have a slice of wholemeal bread instead. We also ordered 2 bottles of wine at £35 each, and with drinks before our bill came to £300. I believe they could have been more accommodating and given us a free bread roll considering the circumstances.
