Lake Road Kitchen in South Lakeland

Came here to celebrate myself and my partners engagement. It was easiest the best meal we have ever had. We had the 5 course taster menu with wine pairing. The fried chicken in particular was incredible, however every course was exceptional in its own right. The service was so attentive with every course and wine explained. We will definitely be returning to try the 8 course taster menu. Only a matter of time before this gets a Michelin star. Worth the money to eat such high end food.

We go to lots of fine dining restaurants which includes restaurants with up to 3 stars. Often the food is impressive, but is sometimes impressive for its own sake. The Lake Road Kitchen goes for fine dining that has a comfort food vibe from around the world. A congee with beef reminded me of Taiwanese beef stew, and the popcorn chicken was Korean/Japanese with a little delicious spice. Our extra dish of Parmesan custard was comforting and rich but refined as well; somehow Japan meets Italy. Wine pairings are better than anywhere I can think of with care about how the dish is served with the wine. A monkfish dish had far too much rich beetroot jus with it, but as soon as you tasted the wine it all came together. The four-person team all pitch in with front of house mixing with chefs in presenting the food. The effect is very authentic and gels together well. Last time I ate this well, it was Tommy Bank’s 2 star restaurant in Yorkshire where one of the Lake Road chefs was a senior chef for some time. With the Asian influence the two chefs have come together to produce something that is interesting but still really comforting. I’d happily make a detour to come back here again.

Everything about this place is amazing, we had the best night for hubby's birthday and our 25th Anniversary last night. The food was outstanding, we opted for the 8 courses but added in the parmesan dish to share as an extra which was the best decision ever as it was exquisite! We loved that you are talked through every dish and couldn't believe how stunning the flavours were. Thanks to all 3 of you for making our evening so special. Best food we've ever had and we've eaten a lot of lovely food over the years! We will definitely be back xxx

Revisit after 5 years as we live a long way away and delighted to find food still exceptional. Cooked with great enthusiasm, passion and pride by James and his team. Service outstanding. From the bread and aged butter at the beginning you know you are in for a great feast and food was able to constantly delight and surprise. Exceptional restaurant. Fantastic team.

What an experience . After many visits ,Lake Road Kitchen still thrills with the outstanding quality and flavours of the food , the service and ambiance . How it doesn’t have a Michelin star beats me. The heart and sole of the restaurant is the chef and the excellent team . The detail in every course and the flavour profiles make it impossible to choose a favourite. We took friends for the first time and they were equally thrilled by this small but perfectly formed restaurant .

This was our second visit to LRK. It is absolutely outstanding. We had the 8 course menu, my wife is a veggie and I have to say that her dishes were equally as good, if not better than mine. Hard to pick stand-out courses but for me the Parmesan Custard and the Pork were very special. The wine list is well curated and not ridiculously expensive. We planned our visit during dinner and we came home with their sourdough bread and chocolate cookies. Love it, love it, love it!

Beautiful food and a relaxed atmosphere, a perfect evening. We had the 8 course tasting menu, one vegetarian and one standard, plus one wine flight and the Wagu beef. Every dish was light, fresh, interesting and so moorish. Great pacing of dishes, the staff were seamless and there was a great vibe. Absolutely loved it

This restaurant is a firm favourite of ours. Exquisite food that is beautifully presented in a calm and relaxed atmosphere. It is absolutely in the same league as the Stamp House and Heft and I cannot understand the lack of a Michelin star.

We absolutely loved our experience at LRK. We had the 12 course menu for 1 standard and 1 vegetarian. It was clear that all the team were incredibly passionate about what they do and it showed with each course. For me personally, that was the best vegetarian food I have eaten. Definitely worth a visit!!

This was our third visit to Lake Road Kitchen and again, it didn't disappoint. It's the only restaurant we always return to every time we visit the Lakes and one of our favourites overall. We went to a Michelin Star restaurant the same week and the food at LRK was just as good, if not better. We were made to feel special and every dish was explained to us so it's well worth paying a bit more for the experience. We'd never tried a taster menu until we visited LRK for the first time in 2018 and have tried many since but no others compare to LRK. We will continue to return every time we visit the Lakes. Thank you James and your team!

We ate here and although we had ordered the 8 course tasting menu we added in another 2 courses that were on offer and so had a 10 course menu and wine flight to go with all 10 courses! We had the most amazing evening with sensations to the taste buds with both the food and wine! The service was exemplary and the atmosphere great - perfect number of tables for an intimate dining experience. A truly memorable evening and somewhere we hope to return to again.

Delightful 8 course tasting menu with some optional extras (the parmesan custard a quality flavour sensation) and bespoke accommodation of allergy and pescatarian. Each dish a delight explained by the team including chefs and front of house engaging fully with the food and interest of the guests. The stand out dishes were the Kingfish Tataki, monkfish and fried chicken, the preparation and attention to flavours and detail was standout and a real belief in good food to be enjoyed, but with real finesse clearly in full evidence. The whole dining experience from service, ambiance, to the food was a delight and a real evening experience, that we will return to again at the earliest opportunity

Exceptional! One of the best meals we've ever had! Never had such personable service from a chef and team. Very relaxed surroundings. Amazing tasty food with incredible attention to detail...it's definitely a place to go!

This is the second time that we have dined at LRK and again LRK did not disappoint! My wife and I had the 8 course tasting menu with the wine pairing. The food was easily of Michelin standard, as was the whole experience. As before the staff were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable and friendly. Nothing was too much trouble. LRK provides an exquisite dining experience, that I can whole-heartedly recommend. We very mcuh look forward to our next visit. Thank you LRK

Staff was attentive and knowledgeable. Wine pairings were well chosen but overall, is overpriced and mediocre compared to another local (Stamp House) tasting menu restaurant. Salt is the dominant flavour; most dishes are overpowered by some combination of salt, miso, soy, tamari, and/or vinegar. Agree with other reviewers that it’s more theatre than culinary delight. We were offered opportunities to ‘upgrade’ in a pre-arrival email and at many moments during the evening…degraded the experience…extra course, fancier wine, wagyu beef, cheese plate. Felt commercial and touristy - like a place for big money but little discerning taste. Will not return; do not recommend.

My wife booked lake road kitchen as a surprise for my 40th Birthday and I couldn't have asked for a better experience. The whole dining experience was faultless!! We were made to feel very welcome from the start and felt very relaxed throughout the meal....

A fantastic local find. Intimate dining experience with only a few tables, all overseen by the knowledgeable staff who are clearly passionate about delivering a dining experience that meets their own high standards. Menu was super enjoyable - packed with taste without necessarily coming across...

An excellent eight course tasting menu with options for more courses. This is now the third time we have visited and each time the food has been superb. Every course was so well flavoured and cooked.

What a great restaurant, deserving of a Michelin star. The 8-course menu was superb - the amount of preparation, the quality ingredients, the attention to detail and most of all the flavours were superb. It was lovely to have Nick and Thomas, the chef's, bring...

This was a truly excellent dining experience. We have done many Michelin restaurants around Europe and the food and service here was as good as others I have had. The story behind every course was appreciated. I loved the “dive in with your fingers” on...

We are not new to eating at The Lake Road Kitchen and we have visited often since they first opened. We dined with them in January 2023, just before their winter closing. It was absolutely super, but we dined with them again last weekend, somewhat...

We ate here in January. It was our fourth time at Lake Road kitchen. The team organised a taxi both ways for us which was really helpful. This was our special treat meal in our holiday and so we were prepared to pay more. We...

Fantastic tasting menu. Better than two other restaurants with stars that we have been to. Staff, service and food all top quality.

The restaurant is small well planned out good atmosphere whilst in your own food bubble journey - staff are helpful but not over bearing - food and wine paired together are sublime - loved it

An 8-serving pescatarian tasting menu, an 8-serving vegan menu and a wine flight was a wonderful experience for my wife and I. Extraordinary attention to detail coupled with an inventive use of novel ingredients was made all the more enjoyable by interesting explanations of the...

A fantastic restaurant, which suited our mixed groups requirements (vegan, pescatarian and gluten free). One of the best I have ever eaten at, Service is next level and faultless

A fantastic dining experience, every course was brilliant with each element explained upon service to the table! Service was faultless, friendly, informative and engaging. A real enjoyable evening! Thank you to all the team. We look forward to visiting again soon!

We have been lucky to have eaten at a number of starred restaurants , and the Lake Road Kitchen is up there with them. The food is imaginative , full of flavour and a credit to the chef and the rest of the staff ....

Fantastic restaurant, food and service !!! I have read reviews and some do not match the excellent experience we encountered yesterday evening !!! Not certain where poor service comes from but a taster menu takes time to prepare, serve, eat , savour and think /...

Thank you so much for tonight! Sally our hostess was attentive, personable and professional. All of the staff who we interacted with were top class. James the chef makes the most amazing food, and my partner and I enjoyed every single course. We would advise...

Each course was well put together and great flavours, it was very expensive for what we received. The previous evening we dined in another Ambleside restaurant, and to be frank the Lake road kitchen had seemed to have copied there menu to some degree, but...

We opted for the 8 course tasting menu for our 3rd visit to this restaurant. Each time it has been perfect. Every dish is presented and explained by knowledgeable, friendly staff. From the first mouthful of fresh sourdough and aged butter , you know you’re...

Fantastic food, excellent wines and great service in this unpretentious restaurant. Eating out in the U.K. doesn’t get better than this

No props, no dry ice, no hand blown fancy crockery, simply amazing ingredients cooked with skill and precision, elegantly presented on white plates (with the exception of one dish). One of our 4 did think there was a lack of colour where as i prefered...

One of my favourite top 3 meals in the last 10 years. We live between London, Paris and Geneva and have rarely eaten so well.

Excellent in every way. We decided on 8 course options with wine pairing, one vegetarian and one full-on omnivore. The food was beyond delicious, every mouthful delivering layers of intense flavour, perfectly complemented by thoughtfully chosen wines. Service was superb - the small, knowledgeable team...

The food, ambience and service was incredible. From the ladies who provided not only excellent service but very knowledgeable information about the food and wine paired with it, to the chefs who took time to serve some of the dishes and explain in more detail...

Sublime food with warm hospitality. My wife and I have traveled the world, been fortunate to have eaten in superb restaurants and the Lake Road Kitchen belongs in the top of our ” Crème de la crème” list. The menu is locally sourced as much...

Average food and service. Definitely not Michelin star level. There were a couple of instances where service was lacking. Chef made an effort to serve most diners but we were missed out. There was an opportunity for him to speak to us at the end...

I did a lot of research before deciding to celebrate our wedding anniversary here during our week stay in Ambleside and it did not disappoint! First of all, many Michelin star places offer a standard ‘meat’ and perhaps a vegetarian tasting menu. However, here they...

Excellent 8 course tasting menu with some unusual dishes and seasonal locally sourced food. Very knowledgeable staff and great service. The braised pine nuts, sablefish and Morecombe pork were particularly memorable.

This is Ambleside at its best. The food is fantastic. This is definitely my favourite restaurant. The service is exceptional and the knowledge of the dishes is unusually high. For a great foodie experience book this restaurant in advance. Treat yourselves and have the extra...

Perhaps it was because we had dined at some truly excellent establishments and gastro-pubs the same week in the Lakes, but even by far more prosaic standards the food at Lake Road Kitchen is hugely over-rated, and the restaurant would have a hard time surviving...

My wife and I dined at this restaurant on June 4th. The care, friendliness, skill and knowledge of the staff was nothing short of excellent. The food was just off the charts incredible, exquisitely prepared and presented. I cannot praise this restaurant enough. We went...

A very nice place - setting is scandi in design. Staff are attentive and friendly We had the 8 course tasting menu and it’s plenty to eat. The food is interesting and very tasty. There was an interesting mix of meat, fish and vegetarian courses....

An absolutely stunning experience , the cuisine was sublime and the service and attention were unsurpassed . We have been to many fine dining venues over more than three decades , we also where possible like to try the matching wines where available . The...

This is the most expensive meal I’ve ever had but also the best meal I’ve ever had. We went for the 12 course fish menu. On arrival they asked us if we’d like a taxi booking for the way back and it was small things...

So I am writing this review to ask you to seriously consider if this is your type of experience. It’s a nice cosy restaurant and the staff are very slick and perhaps over attentive. We went here after l’enclume had cancelled our booking and we...

Another excellent 8 course meal at Lake Road Kitchen. Interesting courses most more than a mouthful, all rather theatrically described, my favourite being the thigh chicken fillet that had been fried, roasted, fried again, then stabbed ( to let the steam out ) then refried...

We were so keen to visit Lake Road Kitchen that we joined a waiting list and celebrated when a cancellation meant we got a table. It was my birthday so we decided to 'push the boat out' and have the matching wines to accompany our...

This was a wonderful 8 course tasting good menu. A lovely atmosphere and great knowledgable staff. All the staff are involved and the head chef comes out to talk and discuss dishes with the diners. Just a great evening from start to finish. Wish we...

This small little independent restaurant is worth a six hour drive from London on its own! With only 7 tables in service, the level of care is incredible - from taking over explaining your food, meeting the chefs and even ordering your taxi, you are...

We have eaten in some outstanding places but this has to be the best. The food was phenomenal and took you to another place. Staff were professional and informative with genuine interest in their areas. Highly recommended. Thank you for a great evening and first...

We have returned all too soon from our honeymoon, but had the most fantastic time at Lake Road! The snails still haunt my dreams… also the halibut… and in fact the cod come to think of it! Service was fantastic, wine flights too, thank you...

Great atmosphere, great service, but if you like morsels of food great, 3 hours they took over 8 very tiny portions and I left Hungary , and I don't have a huge appetite. Taster menus elsewhere have never been this small or expensive!

Absolutely loved the 8 course menu. On our table of four was one vegetarian and one gluten free/egg free/minimal dairy. My experience as the later (not my choice, my body's instructions) is that some restaurants just remove the problematic ingredient so the dish is less...

Trying to be something it isn’t. The price was more than a holiday - as much as a double Michelin, however, without the experience of even one star. The only memorable dish was the fried chicken and I can’t say it was better then the...

A truly stunning restaurant which has exceptional food served in a relaxed and informative manner. My wife and I enjoyed the 12 course tasting menu. The care and passion with which the food is created came across in the service and plating. Each course had...

Wonderful restaurant….serving quality tasting menus (we went for the 8 course) all served by friendly and knowledgeable staff.we also went with the wine pairing which made it all the more enjoyable….couldn’t fault a thing….and hope to return one day to try the 10 course.

We have wanted to come to Lake Road Kitchen for a long time and finally booked it for a night of our honeymoon. In all honesty it’s the best meal we’ve eaten in a restaurant in the UK. We’ve been lucky enough to eat in...

We’d eaten here 4 years before this visit and were desperate to revisit. On the whole, the food was as innovative and tasty as our previous visit and we enjoyed our dinner. However, as a pescetarian, I thought my “main” might have included fish but...

Last night was not our first visit to this exemplary, experimental, cutting edge, exquisitely executed eatery. And not for the first time to celebrate my birthday. Always my first choice for special celebrations. From the moment we arrived to the moment we left we were...

From reading some of what I can only say is ridiculous reviews we were a little apprehensive of what to expect however we had the most amazing experience. From the moment we arrived we felt very comfortable which is great as we were about to...

I have been to the Kitchen several times before, but not for a few years They now provide two magnificent tasting menus I can honestly say each course was amazing The attention to detail, the inspirational cooking and flavours, the service and the general ambience...

I really don’t know where the good reviews come from for this place. It’s just a joke. In summary, the place is an overpriced mockery. To be fair, were a couple of pea-sized pieces of decently tasting foods there, but that is all I can...

We were expecting something special but we got an overpriced mediocre experience, the wine was good but unfortunately the food was adverage at best

We had a fabulous 13 course taster menu here last night. The amazing dining experience began at 6.15 and lasted until 10.45. Every course was delicious and we personally enjoyed the amount of fish served throughout the courses. We have done taster menus at most...

It was everything you could want from beginning to end. Wait staff was knowledgeable and eager to fulfill our every need. Having said that we had the tasting menu with the wine pairing and it was incredible. Everyone had their favorite but I can say...

My wife and I spent a very pleasant and interesting evening here yesterday. This place is young and has a Nordic vibe ( the head chef has spent time at Noma, Copenhagen). The vibrant young staff are fantastically enthusiastic about their food and wine. The...

Go to L’enclume or anywhere else in the Lake District. Food was unbalanced and heavy starting a tasting menu with KFC?! Followed by a deep fried “prawn toast / Kiev” then lighter dishes. Not to say the food isn’t done well it’s just in no...

A few years ago I couldn’t believe this place didn’t have a Michelin Star. Now (August 2021) the food doesn’t even seem good value. Dishes used to be beautifully presented, garnished, art-like and individual ingredients explained by the waiting staff. There used to be a...

The food was a bit mediocre. Some of it was great. Some average. I’d say more average than great though. Some of the waiting staff were great. Others were a bit up themselves. There wasn’t much info on the dishes when they were brought to...

We have done several tasting menu experiences in the last few years, locally at L’Enclume through to Mark Fosh in Palma. Some Michelin starred and some not. The success factor for these events are a coupling of great food and a fantastic service experience. 4...

interior looks like it’s been attacked by Homesense. Small room with good service. Vegan menu had too many barbecued elements. Fair play to them for accommodating though. Standard menu good, with the pork as a highlight. This is more of a 3.7 than a low...

Recently visited whilst on holiday and the tasting menu was absolutely gorgeous. Accompanied by the wine tasting menu, this really was a special evening.

I can’t review the food as the booking - made over 6 weeks ago was cancelled because my party went from 3 to 2 due to a Covid ping. After the restaurant was informed, the powers that be there, sent an email (didn’t even call)...

Had booked well in advance and had to reduce number from 3 to 2 because one friend had been 'pinged' the day before and had to self isolate and couldn't travel with us. This alone was very disappointing for us and her. We then had...

This place is fabulous... the food, the wine, the service, the ambience - everything ! Such special and unusual food which is clearly prepared by experts with passion... we booked for 12 courses, but sneaked in an extra cheese course and this was amazing too......

Was given a table last minute on the waiting list (worked out nicely since we couldn't make it to another restaurant's reversed time slot). Warm welcome on arrival. Loved the ambience especially the lighting. It is served by 2 helpful staff members. We were sat...

My husband and I took my dad here for his birthday on Sunday. We were really excited but unfortunately it was disappointing. Service was on the whole friendly but slow, it took much longer than hoped to get drinks and bread. The menu was underwhelming...

Ultimate modern dining experience. Good value for quality, quantity and general experience (12 courses). Being able to see the chefs at work (and meet them) very special. Would highly recommend.

A friend recommended us to the Restaurant, And we were both incredibly impressed. We both thoroughly enjoyed all the courses, And couldn’t fault any part of the meal or service. Peter our waiter was impeccable. The flavours and food quality were just fantastic. A truly...

Unfortunately, the experience was not great and I concur with the previous 1 star review that apparently Ste (I can call you Ste, right!) from Manchester decries as ‘Trumpesque’ fake! I often find that when countering someone’s opinion it helps to stick to the facts...

And unfortunately the experience was as described by Hungary. The ‘support’ for this restaurant from others, whilst heart warming loses credibility when the facts are considered. Slurring a couple that you don’t know, about a situation you had no knowledge of, is an curious way...

Yes, we were also there that night and all I can say is that we really enjoyed the food and experience......except that is for the ambience from the ‘sour faced’ couple who clearly did not appreciate the table they were allocated. My goodness the stares would have put anyone one off their meal.....that is if it had not been such good food. When said individuals left there was a collective sigh of relief by the three tables nearest to this unnecessary response to a seating arrangement. Neither of us new each other but we all expressed the same relief....enough said, some reviews you just need to ignore (they are what they are)We specifically enjoyed the ‘saffron risotto’.....which was more saffron then aged Parmesan in my view.I would would be more than happy to return for a third time, absolutely nothing wrong with the customer service that we experienced.....but of course it really depends on how you think you should be treated. Enough said.

Our second visit in just over 6 months and yet again a fantastic meal! The service was impeccable, as too was the food. It is a very intimate venue with just a few tables. We had the 8 course menu (Coeliac friendly) and loved every...

A totally unrepeatable experience solidified by overhearing the chef/owner using offensive language, about a paying guest, in the kitchen area

Our family like Lake Road Kitchen a lot - never disappointing and the superb, distinctive cooking has developed and improved over the 7 years it has been open. Recently we visited with discerning friends, and choose the 12 course menu with wine flight. This was...

Setting A small, intimate restaurant with a friendly, semi formal setting. The staff a welcoming and professional. Food We had the 8 course set menu. Highlights were: the homemade sourdough bread, steamed halibut, pork with apple, and the blackberry dessert. Some of the portion sizes...

We opted for the 8-course menu and added an additional course on top. The majority of dishes were very tasty, a couple just okay but overall a pleasant experience

A bit concerned at the start no menu choice 12 courses or none, tasting menus / michelin stars would it be petals and art before taste, and pricey. From the start though this was excellent superb food, brilliant service, lovely atmosphere, altogether a good honest...

Hemos comido algunos menús de degustación a lo largo de los años y este está en la parte superior de mi lista. Un entorno modesto, personal atento pero no dominante y comida increíble. Fuimos por 8 campos con el vuelo del vino para 2 de nuestro grupo. Cada plato era delicioso, pero el halibut sopló todo lo demás.¡Reserva con anticipación y disfruta!

What a find in Ambleside. The eight course tasting menu with matching wines was first class and fresh. Plating was simple and attractive but the flavours were outstanding. The service was attentive and knowledgeable and the whole experience was memorable. Book ahead to avoid disappointment.

En primer lugar, déjeme comenzar con una disculpa. Sin darme cuenta, me gustó una reseña de 1 estrella. ¡Ups! ! ! ! ¡Lo siento! !De todos modos. Fue una experiencia fantástica. Los platos son mucho más agradables. El favorito era el fletán, que era el pescado más bonito que he comido. El personal fue excelente y feliz de hablarnos sobre cada plato y responder todas nuestras consultasDefinitivamente volvería a ir

What an experience. Explosions of flavour contrasted with subtleties and intricate plating to be admired. The staff were equally exceptional and Very knowledgeable. A personal highlight was the baked apricot cheesecake and delicate apricot sorbet. Excellent.

Lea todas las críticas, ¡expectativas altas! ! !¡No decepcionado!A pesar del virus, estaba lleno, pero todo en el lugar era sencillo, tranquilo y pacífico. . . . ¡el tipo de ambiente para disfrutar de un maravilloso menú de degustación de 8 platos con su media naranja!El servicio fue atento y bien informado sin ser autoritario, dejando que la comida sea la estrella.Cada plato estaba muy bien preparado y presentado, sabroso y bien equilibrado.Sin embargo, la característica sobresaliente para mí fue el hecho de que todo se logró sin una dependencia excesiva de cremas y aceites, lo que significa que se sentó bien en el vientre, ¡dejándote feliz y satisfecho después de una noche maravillosa!

El menú de degustación de 8 platos en Lake Road Kitchen fue mi cena favorita durante mi estadía en Lake District. Cada plato fue presentado maravillosamente con sabores fabulosos y creativos. La combinación de sabores no es tradicional (tarta de queso con queso de cabra, por ejemplo, que fue INCREÍBLE) pero siempre funcionó y nos emocionó para el siguiente plato. Agregamos un campo adicional, que fue realmente encantador, pero a los 17. 50 por persona por un plato extra, ¡no lo volvería a hacer! Como ocurre con todos los menús de degustación que he tenido en este nivel, los platos son muy pequeños porque la comida es muy rica. ¡Todavía nos fuimos sintiéndonos increíblemente llenos! La lista de vinos no tiene un precio terrible, pero los 15 negroni no valían la pena. El servicio fue excepcional y todos parecían increíblemente conocedores y apasionados por la comida. Es caro, pero para un regalo súper especial, lo recomiendo

We had Heard great things about Lake Road, but was sadly disappointed in the whole experience. The restaurant it’s self was quaint, cosy and the staff were very attentive. However, we were very disappointed with the eight course menu. The courses were extremely small and also lacking in flavor. All eight dishes could have been plated on one plate and this would have sufficed, however it was spread out between eight dishes. Furthermore I was made to feel uncomfortable during my time in the restaurant by being told to put my phone down during my stay. I just feel let down with the whole experience as the food was expensive and basic and was below average for what is meant to be a top restaurant.

WE came before, as recently as last October, but as we were in Ambleside, we dined again, and everything was just perfect. A three hour eight course meal, with gallons of smooth Italian wine and loads of sourdough bread with simply the best butter ever to keep it company. Each dish lovingly described and presented and full of strong flavours. Desserts to die for, and my wife's whole meal was vegan. All the courses were small, but big enough to get a real sense of all the wonderful flavours. Some we remembered fro last time, some were new, all were innovative and looked amazing.We'll be back

I came with my wife & sister to celebrate a birthday and i was blown away by how good the food was - alongside a class wine pairing. Whole thing was amazing and i would recommend getting a table at any chance you have.Best bit of pig i have ever had!
