  • "The focaccia I ordered was a letdown, deviating significantly from the traditional style."

Value for Money

Pros:

  • "The food itself is of high quality and not outrageously priced for what you get."
  • "Great portion sizes that left us both stuffed, and incredible and attentive service."
  • "3 course meal for two with a drink all for under £30 through Wowcher. Definitely worth a visit."

Cons:

  • "The food was super delicious (even though a bit pricy)."
  • "Food is good, however the price is fairly high versus the quality."
