    Poor

    Quite poor dinner - soapy potatoes, rubbery meat, everything lacking real flavour including the chips!

    Good pre theatre deals

    Ate here early one Saturday evening with a friend. We both chose from the pre-theatre menu where you could have 2 courses for £16.50 or 3 courses for £20.50. We had staters of fish cakes and bread and both had the Thai green chicken curry...More

    Great little restaurant

    Decided to try this place after the good reviews. We weren't disappointed as we had a lovely meal. Staff very friendly and the food was delicious. Highly recommend the chicken starter, sea bass and the lemon posset. Excellent meal.

    I’m not sure how long this restaurant has been opened as I did know if it’s existence until a family member recommend it. We tried it before a show in the GOH as they serve a pre-theatre menu. It’s a small cosy little bistro with...More

    Nice, good value

    Went for lunch this week. Service was friendly, food was nice. Good value for money. I got the crispy chicken though and just felt that it also needed a dipping sauce or something. But it was still nice and id go again

    There were definitely vegetarian options on the menu but couldn't be sure if they were vegan. The manager / owner was very helpful though, I'm sure if you contacted them in advance they could have vegan options available.
