    We had the lunch time set menu and it was phenomenal. 22.50 for three courses, perfect portion sizes - left feeling very satisfied. The dishes were beautifully presented, and full of flavour. We especially liked the pork cheek, the whitebait, and the rosemary creme brulee! The cocktails were really tasty and looked fab. The staff were very friendly and attentive, and the whole place had a lovely atmosphere.
