Fantastic - definitely go here

Rarely have I had a meal and enjoyed every single bite so much. The food really is outstanding and I made an effort of telling the chef and the owner how good it was before I left.

You order lots of small plates (2-3 per person on average) and the idea is to share it… it would be particularly good for large groups I feel. It's very simple food, but cooked with the most amazing array of flavours. Each plate is £7-£9 each, so when you have 2 or 3 of these, plus drinks, you're not looking at a cheap meal. However I give this 5 stars for value simply because the food was that good. The waitress was always topping our glass up and was really friendly too.

The only slight down is that it is a bit expensive, but, as I said, it's worth every penny – for the service, food and intriguing interior design. It would be perfect for large groups but I went with one other person only and it was still really nice. It's very laid back too – wear trainers, hoodie et al. if you like!

If you want to impress someone / several people with somewhere that's fun and laid back but also high in quality, come here

What a shame !

Our table was for 8.30 on a Saturday evening – may be that was the mistake, especially as it was my wife's birthday meal. On arrival we were shown to our table and all 4 of us stopped in our tracks…we had to sit at a table this small…4 of us ? There were no other tables free so this was it. We squashed ourselves in and I could sense trouble, my wife asked to leave ! I managed to persuade her to stay – actually, she couldn't move anyway as she was hemmed in between me, the wall and the man behind whose chair was wedged against hers.
We ordered and the friendly staff quickly delivered our food – its was sublime ! So good that even my wife said it was good. The delight my tastebuds were experiencing just managed to balance out the shoving I received every time a waiter walked by our table. We finished off our plates and my wife asked for the bill ! ditching the birthday surprise that was due for dessert.
So overall, amazing food but ruined by what I can only describe as an experience like trying to eat your dinner off your lap on a tube train in rush hour. Halve the number of tables and double the prices. Then I would return.

Original and delicious food. Fantastic joyful atmosphere, friendly but not in your face staff. Parading the roast of the evening was a real highlight. This has to be a great success!
