A wonderful old building, complimented by excellent service, first-class food and at very acceptable prices. My auntie has coeliac disease and must eat gluten-free food. How lovely to have a maître d' who knew all the dish ingredients without having to ask the chef. He guided her through every dish and had the portions adjusted so that she had 'room' for 3 courses. What a lovely surprise too to find that she had considerable choice across the menu, and she was delighted that the dessert options were so much more than just ice cream or fruit salad. She chose the PARFAIT: Chestnut and Whisky parfait with Chantilly cream and crushed meringue...yummy! Will definitely be going again, superb, can't fault it. Thank you everyone.

No need for secrecy, no complaints to submit, no delays wanted before a return visit. First visit with no great expectations due to pleasant English country-style décor. But great courtesy; wheelchair ramp in place before our arrival, swift change of table proffered to better accommodate footrests. Unexpected amuse bouche. Peaceful with friendly Parisian in attendance. Good cooking and just far better than expected. Shall return to try more good portions, delicate presentations and pleasing quality of wines

Came for an evening meal for my sons birthday, nice welcome, well spaced seating, attentive but not imposing staff.
Professionally run but with a relaxed atmosphere.Small but well varied menu, with nice sized courses. we were able to let the owner provide us with a different glass of wine to match each course, excellent choices.
It is often difficult to get the balance right, but it suited us perfectly.Overall a very enjoyable and special evening, well done, and thank you!!!

My partner and I ate here some months back and apologise that I've only just got around to Tripadvisor (whilst booking a return visit!). I'd read the reviews but was a little apprehensive as the menu looked a little "posh" for my partner's taste. Equally when we stepped inside I did wonder whether it was all going to be a bit gastro pretentious but how wrong I was. From the effusive welcome to the v. late laughing goodbye, this was a truly delightful evening, the best night out we'd had in a long time. Delicious cocktails and interesting wine menu accompanied mouth watering food. Unlike me, my partner is not one for food lust but described his desert as stunning. The extensively stocked cheese trolley meant that I was in a heaven of gluttony! Set in a beautiful building enhanced by exceptional service. A huge thank you must go out to Kirsty who was attentive but not at all intrusive, by the end of the evening we were laughing like old friends and her presence made this a truly memorable and enjoyable evening. This is a real gem of a restaurant and I am so looking forward to going there for my birthday meal this weekend. Thank you!

tasty food in a lovely setting - really interesting and yummy vegetarian choices and scrummy puds as well as great wines and perfectly cooked meaty mains. The whole family found a dish to enjoy. I d recommend this restaurent wholeheartedly.

I dined here last night whilst visiting family from London. The food was remarkably good and elevated almost to exceptional with paired wines recommended to us. The setting is relaxed. The service was extraordinarily good – attentive but not overly so. Overall I’d say on a par with some starred restaurants (and a third of the price) and definitely worth a detour whilst in the area.

First visit here for a friends birthday. Staff were fantastic hosts. Bread brought before meal was fantastic and all enjoyed the amazing food! We were given a history of the building which was interesting and made us feel very welcome! Highly recommend!

Came here with my sister and nephew for our fathers birthday - we always like to try new local restaurants, and particularly this one as he'd been to a dance in the same building many moons ago. The menu was small which is a relief, and seasonal which was lovely.
