                            The Covid precautions were good and the dining area was well arranged to ensure social distancing. Food was good - particularly the beef was of a very high quality. Service was attentive and prompt and we appreciated the absence of excessive noise.

                            Great food, good service. Sat in the new large teepee, which is great. Not sure about the hot blown air system though, fine for us as we were sat next to the outlet, but blowing air around is probably not a wise idea at this time. Might be worth thinking of infrared heaters instead.....

                            Lovely food. A bit claustrophobic due to the screens which gave us little space to move but understandable. Staff were lovely and service good

                            Very good meal, as always. The calves liver was outstanding and chef was happy to amend the mussels sauce for us. We will miss our restaurant during lockdown -good luck to Jonny and all the staff.
