Reviews

Food was amazing, stuff super friendly. Really liked the oysters and the pigeon. Only thing we didn’t like was that you have your table for 90 minutes. We were interested in going for another warm meal, but they simply told us it’s too late. For spending >£250 on the table..I expect more flexibility.
