Fantastic evening spent with my family together celebrate my theatre performance at the Dungeon. Lovely atmosphere in the lounger area followed by enjoying delicious food in the dining room. My family were very impressed with my choice of venue. Definitely I will be back again soon. Well done.

Delicious food!!!! Aamazingly soft, fluffy, light and fresh pancakes that just melt in your mouth. Lots of great options to add on top of the pancakes - sweet or savoury. The lemon curd was the best we have ever had and it should be bottled and able to buy to take home - yum yum! They made our day by highlighting my mum’s birthday and made it extra special for her which was a lovely surprise. Thanks for an awesome and yummy brunch!!! :)
