Been here a few times and normally really enjoy it. However after our latest experience probably won't be returning. Upon arriving 10 mins early we were asked to wait outside for 10 minutes until table was ready, which we did, however there were two tables free which could have been pushed together that were empty the whole time we were in the restaurant, so no idea why we were made to wait outside in the freezing cold. One of our party ordered an espresso martini which the inexperienced staff clearly had no idea how to make and had way too much vodka in. On top of this we were charged Β£5 for the water when tap water would have been fine, restaurant is looking for ways to rip people off.

Went last Saturday evening for my sister's big 50+10 birthday meal. As there was 11 of us,we had to pre-order mains which was fine due to party size. Everyone really enjoyed the food,service, presentation and whole experience. Would definitely recommend to others and well done to everyone concerned front of house and kitchen for your great efforts and attention to detail with everything.10/10.

We visited The Diningroom for my partnerβs birthday, and it was an absolutely fabulous experience from start to finish. The atmosphere was wonderfully intimate, creating a cosy, relaxed setting that made the evening feel extra special. The food was cooked to perfection. My partner enjoyed scallops to start, followed by beef for the main course. I opted for the baked camembert and plantain for my main β and even as a meat eater, I found these choices a real delight. I wasnβt disappointed in the slightest; the flavours were beautifully balanced and truly memorable. The drinks menu was equally enticing. I tried a few cocktails, with the espresso martini being particularly delicious. I also sampled the mint Baileys β not quite to my taste, but Iβm always up for trying something new! All in all, it was a perfect evening: great food, excellent service, and an atmosphere that made it feel like a special occasion. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a place that feels both personal and indulgent

We visited today for my birthday and oh my goodness it's was brilliant. Absolutely fantastic service from a very friendly guy (didn't get his name!) from the minute we walked in. So refreshing to have a waiter who does things so well. Cocktails were lovely and well made and the birthday card was a very nice touch. We both had three courses, and finished every last bit of it all! Really delicious. My husband particularly enjoyed the Thai sweet potato soup and I absolutely loved the rump of lamb. The flavours were so fresh and delicious. Felt like a real treat to visit somewhere so lovely. Can't wait to revisit! Thank you!

The paneer was very nice. Catch of the day was ok. Deserts and cocktails were amazing. Very friendly staff but not the best service. Quite pricy. A nice experience overall.

Had a nice Sunday 3 course here. Chicken was a highlight, mayo siracha with it paired nicely and fried and season perfectly. Nice plating and cool plates, desserts arrived on warm plates tho :D Girls on service was relaxed and friendly so just here to say thank you.

Had an amazing Sunday roast here! The lamb was delicious. Super big portions, couldnβt eat it all but could not fault any of it. Also the halloumi and watermelon to start was surprisingly really tasty, and so was the jackfruit (spicy!) small and cosy restaurant with very friendly staff :-). Definitely going to come back for another meal! 100% would recommend.

Went out for our 5th wedding anniversary and can honestly say wow!! There was a card for us waiting on the table which was a nice touch. The cocktails were fantastic, we has the Gin bramble and spiced mojito. Full of flavour and very refreshing. The food arrived and was next level good. On point starters - the scallops were great and the cauliflower wings were unreal. I am a meat eater, but damn I could eat these time and again. Never before has cauliflower tasted this good. The steak was perfect, nice and pink with equally good chips etc. Didn't have a starter as we only had a few hours child free. Will defo be going back. (Just need a baby sitter!!)
