Top quality dining and fantastic service

Managed to get a table for the festive menu before Tier 3 returned to Middlesex. As ever, the food and service met every expectation. One feels desperately sorry for such establishments that deliver, consistently, high quality hospitality. The management has worked hard to ensure maximum...More
