Delicious food, and we loved the private dining pod. It was made clear to us that we had the reservation for 90 minutes, but there was a long wait on some of the food coming out. We felt a bit rushed at the end of our mains, as we were chewing our last mouthfuls when the waiter came in and said we would need to vacate the pod and move to a different table for our dessert. It would have been nice if there was a bit more flexibility with the booking.

We are so sorry for any delays on the evening that left you feeling rushed, we do hope you were comfortable in our snug area to enjoy pudding! We have a few wonderful new faces within our team and appreciate the feedback so we can ensure all are trained in how we can of course be as flexible as possible to ensure all our guests fully enjoy their time with us. Huge thanks again, we do hope to welcome you back again soon!

This was our second visit. The first was several years ago. Personally I thought the food was strictly average, and very expensive. Good portion sizes but definitively more expensive that needs to be. The quality wasn't as good as we remembered and again didn't justify the high price. I'm happy to pay this kind of money for a meal but not for this AVERAGE quality. The paella was very stodgy, the calamari was extremely chewy (overcooked). The meat balls were quite tough. The chicken wings were very nice. But the beer selection was very limited, only one Cornish Ale! I cant see me returning in a hurry, unless the prices dropped by at least 15%.

Hi David, Many thanks for your recent visit although we are sorry to hear not everything was to your liking. We hope to expand our bar & cellar soon however, at present, it is only possible for us to offer a limited selection of products. Proper Job is a popular, locally brewed ale which we have chosen to support and hope to be able to support more local breweries in the near future. The manager on duty during your visit cannot recall any issues raised at the time regarding your tapas, if every unhappy with a dish, our chefs are more than happy to cook a completely fresh portion or an entirely new dish for you to try. We always want our guests to leave feeling satisfied. If you would like to discuss in further detail please do reach out to us directly. Many thanks again & best wishes
