We were a party of 8 and had made a booking. Attentive staff and the food was excellent. Restaurant wasn't full but busy enough for a good atmosphere. Food and drink reasonably priced, we all agreed we would return.

A great venue, away from the hustle and bustle of Borough Market. Menu changes every few weeks. My favourite starter is the scotch egg (divine!), sausage and mash always good. Pear crumble dessert is fab. The outstanding thing about the restaurant is its staff who are so professional and knowledgeable.
