Impressive venue, effusive welcome, we were seated looking into the open kitchen which was fun. It is a rather noisy room. We had the scotch egg, cod and pork cutlet - which were all beautifully cooked and presented. Service was attentive and friendly. An unusual cheesecake/crème brûlée with mandarin sorbet made for an excellent dessert. A deservedly popular venue.
