Tucked away in the beautiful part of London’s Knightbride, Petrus is an elegantly presented restaurant that provides not only an excellent dining experience, but also an array of exquisite dishes that left my mouth watering. From the tangy starters to the rich and delightful desert, there wasn’t anything from the menu that I was disappointed by. A special mention must go to the staff, particularly to Angelo, who went above and beyond to make our time even more special.They were not only attentive, but also friendly and knowledgeable about the items on the menu. Thank you for an excellent dining experience that my family and I will treasure forever.

A fabulous and delightful meal at Petrus yesterday. The food was as one would have hoped simply delicious and left me full but not stuffed (so they judge the tasting menu quantities very well). The flavours delicious and the imaginative take on Pissaladière was super impressive (as were all the courses). The wine waiter was incredibly helpful and knowledgeable and all in all it was a splendid and special evening. Thank you too to Jean Claude who is now part retired but with whom we overlapped and remembered from happy past visits to other Gordon Ramsay restaurants. It really is well worth a visit to Petrus if anyone has any doubts!

I was lucky enough to be treated to lunch here and had the prestige menu with paired wines. The service was impeccable, knowledgeable yet friendly. The cooking was precise, beautifully delivered scallop, perfect rabbit and a delightful sorbet. Turbot was the only weak point but everything else was spot on and made for a memorable meal. I cannot speak toʻ highly of the standard of service. They made for a delightful experience. Thank you.

I don’t know where to start, we visited for the first time and were blown away by the whole experience. The venue is beautiful, the atmosphere is a perfect start to the evening and the team were impeccable. The service was fantastic with everyone involved in your meal being extremely attentive and not pushy in the slightest on any upsell opportunities. We started with the signature cocktail, which was the best Bramble I’ve had and the wine was lovely and complemented our meal well. We went for the discovery menu which didn’t disappointment, with every dish expertly put together and full of flavour. It was our anniversary and the card from the team and small cake at the end of the meal was a lovely touch. Will definitely be returning when there is a change of menu. Hands down best Michelin restaurant we’ve been too and best meal we’ve ever had.

The dinner was ok but slightly disappointing. Portions were tiny, and the creativity and flavour of the dishes were lacking. Obviously it depends on your expectation. Had I been expecting an average meal I'm sure I would have been pleasantly surprised. However for the prices and the reputation, I was expecting a better.

Absolutely amazing evening at Petrus Knightsbridge on Saturday 31 August. The whole evening was a beautiful experience which we simply could not fault. We chose the smaller of the three menus and just as well we did as there were so many extras added on throughout our meal. We were guided which wines to choose, the waiting staff were simply the best (so welcoming, friendly and very professional). It really was a special evening being our 50 Wedding Anniversary and an evening we shall always fondly remember. We had a tour of the kitchen too which was pristine, everything shone it was so immaculately clean and the chefs were just so happy to see us, very friendly and very calm. Gordon Ramsey you should be so proud of all your staff, they are amazing. Thank you everyone for a very special evening and amazing food.

The moment we entered last night, to the time of departure we were whisked away on an impeccable service and culinary journey fit for royalty. Most of the world’s esteemed, celebrated chefs have gone corporate, and have lost control of the quality and service you come to expect from a Michelin star establishment but not chef Ramsay at Petrus. The staff in the front and back of the house are trained at the highest level. In closing the pictures speak for themselves. Photography is clearly not a strength of mine but the pictures tell the story.

From the second we walked in, I was in awe. The staff and chefs are clearly magicians- absolutely brilliant. First off we had a quiet table in a corner was had so many beautiful orchid flowers on display behind us. We Americans were splurging ourselves in celebration of our wedding anniversary. There was a card for us on the table that all the staff signed!! It was the nicest gesture. The food- the food was nothing short of spectacular! I couldn’t decide what to eat so we tried it all getting 1 of each curated menu. And it was not a mistake! The presentation of the food was extremely precise. My favorite was watching the staff place the food in front of me. It was a dance, everyone knew what to do in a special way. The person even holding the tray even took a step back so the waiter/waitress can move around the table. Everyone was so professional. Like extremely. We got a few of them to loosen up around us, by making small jokes. (I had asked if they had to play rock paper scissors to decide who holds the tray 😂. That indeed earned some chuckles and smiles) The sommelier was knowledgable and man did she bring some pretty amazing wines! I can’t wait to get home and order some bottles! The lighting was mood lighting so yes I know my photos are of poor quality but the food was SO good ( and in my opinion up to Ramsey’s standards- he should be proud of the staff here, they deserve so much praise)

Well, I don’t really know why I am writing this - who relies on a Google review for a Michelin starred restaurant? But anyway, letting aside that this is obviously a place where you will spend a lot of money and can easily spend even more, this is also a place where professional and attentive service will bring you excellent food, helping the restaurant to provide you with an experience as special and rare as it will probably get for all those people like me, who just treat themselves with something exquisite for once. If I’d earn more, I’d go there more often. But as things are, it will probably remain my only visit. But it was an enjoyable one.

What a shame. We are local and have been coming here since this site opened but it’s gone so downhill I don’t think we’ll return. Came for a midweek local dinner but this time was so disappointing. Amuse bouche was the same broth that rarely changes - think it’s the third time having that now and it’s not that exciting. I opted for the truffle linguine which had a £25 supplement and the pasta had been boiled in water so salty it was genuinely unpleasant. I mentioned it to the waiter and got fobbed off with some excuse about Parmesan foam - the foam was fine, it was the water the pasta that was cooked in. The lamb and spelt dish (which I had the year before) was terrible this time. The lamb was so tough it was barely edible. Again fob-off from the waiter about it not yet being spring lamb season….don’t put lamb on the menu then? Honey dessert was so sickly and flat I actually sent it back this time (I couldn’t do three terrible courses) and they replaced with an ok chocolate desert. Petit fours were fine. Such a shame as used to be one of our impulse favourites when we fancied a nice dinner without having to travel too far.

Having eaten at Gordon Ramsay's flagship restaurant in Chelsea (which is faultless) , we returned to Petrus which is as good in our opinion instead for a family birthday dinner. We all had different tasting menus which were adventurous but absolutely delicious. The truffle ice cream is to die for! The service was not just faultless, but warm at the same time. Delphine in particular was delightful and informative. This really is a special restaurant. We hope to be back soon.

We went for dinner and I was not impressed. The greeting & service was good, although they have you waiting about 25 minutes after each course, so it’s a very long dinner. I’m like to not be rushed, but it took a long time between the courses. The food was not exciting in any way. I think I can make more tasteful chicken & scallops at home in my own kitchen. Their dover sole is cooked sous vide and it was tasteless. It’s very expensive and not worth it in my opinion.

Just back from a trip to Petrus. It’s a mixed bag. Decor wise it really does feel like you’re going back in time to the 1980’s, all carpeted floors, draped tables and leather chairs - I was half expecting Tony Montana to be smoking a cigar in a sunken bathtub in the middle of the room (it’s actually inhabited by an impressive rotunda of wine). It was Friday lunch for us and the staff outnumbered the guests; the staff were great - particularly our lead waiter who had a surprising amount of good banter for a restaurant like this. The sommelier was also lovely and very knowledgeable; the bottle of wine she chose us was delicious. The food; what can I say? Aside from the spelt which to be honest I just don’t believe can ever be made to taste that special, it was delicious. Everything we ate tasted amazing; the lobster raviolo was divine, the bread delicious, the Dover sole amazing, the cheese platter a highlight - really top notch. But even for fine dining these portions are SMALL. I’m not exaggerating when I say that I’m home and in the process of ordering a pizza because I’m really not remotely full. I don’t think this would be a problem if the meal hadn’t cost upwards of £500 for 2 people; we really don’t mind paying for amazing food - we do it a lot - but for this kind of money I do want to be full when I leave. The starter was literally 1 raviolo (the size of a normal one, not an exceptionally large one or anything) and the sole honestly was a rectangle 1 inch by 2 inches, with a piece of broccoli. It tasted amazing, we just needed 3 x more of it! So honestly would I recommend it? No… for this kind of price range you can find better - I loved our waiter and we had such fun and I’m glad we went, but I won’t be going back.

A “flatter to deceive,” Gordon Ramsey effort I’m afraid! Food was ok, but certainly nothing more and there was little concern shown when I pointed out that the red wine jus on my beef was over seasoned. To be fair, the jus on my wife’s duck (and the duck itself) was good. Sometimes the food just doesn’t work for you and I can accept that my potential culinary view is more subjective than that of the head chef, whose profession this is. What I can’t accept, is a men’s bathroom that smelt like a pub in Charing Cross Road on a Saturday night and a maitre d who, when I spoke to him about it at the end of dinner, vehemently maintained that it’s not their fault, “as a lot of people used the facility and the staff can’t freshen it up etc (ie. clean it!) because of privacy reasons.” We actually ended up in an argument with him at our table, about toilet hygiene, with many other people listening on! Wow! We recently ate at Andrew Fairlie at Gleneagles, which admittedly is a two star Michelin gaff, but trust me, it’s worth the flight if the option is staying in town and eating at Petrus! PS We spent over £1000 on wine so we weren’t exactly limiting their margins eh? 🤦♂️🤣

I’ve wrote enough poor reviews when something isn’t right, this isn’t going to be one of those. Petrus has a reputation to live up to, and it certainly does that. Gordon Ramsay’s Pétrus, situated in the heart of London, is a beacon of culinary excellence, setting the standard for fine dining in the city. From the moment one steps into the elegantly appointed dining room, it becomes evident that this experience will be nothing short of extraordinary. The ambiance at Pétrus is a seamless blend of sophistication and warmth. The restaurant’s interior, with its striking wine cellar at the core, creates a luxurious yet inviting atmosphere. This setting is perfect for those special occasions when only the best will do, or even for a discerning diner seeking an exceptional meal in a relaxed environment. What truly sets Pétrus apart, however, is its impeccable service. The staff exemplify professionalism and hospitality, striking the perfect balance between attentiveness and discretion. From the moment you are welcomed at the door, the team at Pétrus ensures every detail is attended to, making diners feel both valued and pampered. Their knowledge of the menu and the wine list is impressive, providing tailored recommendations that enhance the dining experience significantly. The culinary offerings at Pétrus are nothing short of spectacular, with each dish reflecting Gordon Ramsay’s signature innovation and finesse. The menu is a celebration of the best of British and French cuisines, with every ingredient thoughtfully sourced and every plate meticulously presented. The flavours are complex yet harmonious, showcasing a level of craftsmanship that can only be achieved by a kitchen operating at the peak of its powers. There was no way the staff could have known the tough week we had both had, there was a potential of a Michelin star restaurant to be stuffy and pretentious, this is far from that. The whole experience had the ability to completely change our mood any energise us for the weeks ahead. In conclusion, Pétrus by Gordon Ramsay is not just a restaurant; it is an institution that epitomises the pinnacle of gastronomic excellence. The combination of its welcoming and professional staff, sublime cuisine, and elegant ambiance makes it a must-visit destination for anyone looking to indulge in London’s finest dining experience. Whether for a special occasion or a culinary adventure, Pétrus promises an unforgettable journey through taste, service, and sophistication. Genuinely thank you for giving my wife and I the perfect evening.

Before I start I should mention that coming to one of Ramsay's restaurants was one of the big reasons I wanted to come to London. This was our first time in Europe and we choose London so that we could try food here. This was my first visit to a Michelin star restaurant. We were visiting from the US. We have been to most of Ramsay's restaurants there. So we were very excited to at a reservation. Here is what we thought. First I'll start with the service. So for the service the staff was very attentive and nice. They were at our attention for everything we needed. I did feel like I was being upsold throughout the meal. I didn't like that. The food was a mix. I had the discovery menu. My wife had the prestige menu. We both got the wine pairing. We just had the first level of wine. I am not a huge wine drinker but I did enjoy the wine pairing with the dishes. The person going through the wines was very knowledgeable but not pretentious. She explained where the wines were from and what made them unique. I really liked the wines that they picked out with the dishes. I would do The wine pairing again. For the food it was a bit more of a mix. The first couple of dishes were very good. They talked us into the truffle upcharge for a couple of dishes. I don't think it is worth it. It's 15 pounds a gram and they add about 3 grams. I definitely didn't feel it added 45 pounds of taste to the dishes. The eel chimchurri donut was my favorite thing I ate. I want one thinking about it right now. The first couple courses are probably only a couple bites or maybe one bite. The main courses were tasty but quite small. Maybe 2 ounces...maybe. The cheese plate was very good. I would do that again. I enjoyed all of the savory plates. I closed my eyes tasting them because it felt like I needed to to go through the many flavors all happening at the same time. When it came to the desserts I wasn't a fan. I do prefer savory dishes to sweet ones but these were not amazing. I really enjoy a a good dessert but these didn't hit the mark. They were unique but the flavors and textures did not make me want more. Had the meal not been so expensive I probably wouldn't have eaten them. If it was Al a carte I never would order it. And that brings me to the last and biggest issue. The portions are sooo small..I was still very hungry after dinner. I felt like going to eat. For spending close to a thousand dollars on dinner and drinks for 2 people that was a big let down. It was a cool experience but I don't know if I could recommend it.

Left feeling post purchase dissonance and underwhelmed. We have tried a few of Gordon’s restaurants, last year we did 1890 and decided on Petrus as a birthday surprise this year. We were the first ones to arrive for the 6pm reservation. Despite being first my Gucci handbag didn’t receive its own cushion like the other patrons. The service does not feel as special as 1890, I’m not sure if that because they were trying hard to receive their first star that they go the extra mile. You get a sense that even if you are intolerant to truffle or caviar that if you don’t purchase the upsales that they don’t seem as interested in you. The explanations of the tasting menus are sped through and once the main meal is finished you are left to the other waiting staff. Credit to the chef for the delicious meals, the favourite being the deer however the portions do seem smaller. They did a birthday card and a cake which was a lovely gesture, but you don’t feel the same as the Savoy where we left feeling so special.It’s a real shame but we won’t be returning.

Food and wine were excellent, it's a curated menu for the table and we set a wine budget which they stayed within whilst giving us a bottle per course and a bottle of 40 year old Port! It's a lot of fun, less formal and we ended up stumbling out quite late. A very memorable evening.

The service and food are faultless as you would expect. We opted for the prestige menu which offered a fantastic selection of dishes, flavours all beautifully presented. Clearly, the team are well versed when serving but the enjoyment they seem to have informing you of each dish just adds to the excitement. I highly recommend coming here. The only let down was the restaurant felt a little lacking in atmosphere.

Incredible food, service a little invasive if you are there to talk about something other than the food - which you may not be!

Si trova in una zona carina e poco frequentata. La location è un pò kitch all' interno. ottima cucina del menù degustazione senza sbavature e ottimo il servizio con camerieri che parlavano anche italiano. L' unico neo è il costo aggiuntivo del servizio di 60 sterline per due (quasi il 20% del costo del menù), che obiettivamente non mi è mai capitato di vedere in ristoranti stellati.

Absolutely fabulous lunch, service friendly and efficient just seamless. The cooking was exceptional and everything from the chicken consomme through the scallops smoked eel, deer and turbot followed by apple crumble souffle were all of the highest standard.

My partner and I had the most wonderful experience tonight and I wanted to extend my gratitude. I took my partner to Petrus tonight for his birthday and it was the most incredible experience we have ever had. He is a huge fan of Gordon Ramsay (his brother is also a recovering addict so he resonates hugely with his story) and has always wanted to eat at one of his Michelin star restaurants, so this felt like the perfect gift. The first huge tick is the offer you have for petrus with the a la carte menu. This makes it so accessible. We’ve just bought our first home so money is tight and the fact we could enjoy this was a huge win. Obviously the food was amazing, that’s almost a given but what truly made this experience was the service. Your staff were outstanding. I felt like we looked quite obviously overwhelmed and excited by the whole thing and they embraced and indulged every second of that for us. At the end of the meal, the sweets brought out (macaroons, hazelnut tarte and the Madeleines) were the star of the show. Whilst my partner was in the toilet, I made a light hearted joke to the server that I hadn’t had the opportunity to try a madeleine, as my partner had ate them all due to them being his favourite cake ever. What I didn’t then expect was them to bring us out an entirely fresh set of baked madeleines to ensure I got to try some. When I say this made our evening, I cannot express how much more special this made everything. Not only did I get to try them, my partner also got to indulge again in what he has now describe as his favourite pudding ever (so much so he stashed half in his pocket to eat on our walk home!). Your service was incredible, your food was sublime and you made two very normal people feel so incredibly special and excited for an evening. Thank you for making his birthday so special and thank you for making Michelin dining so accessible. We will most definitely be returning in the near future. All the best Olivia and Liam

We were last here for my birthday back in 2022 and boy has it improved. If you look at my reviews of places we have eaten at, you will see that we have been to some of the best restaurants in Europe. Pertus is one of the best. We noticed the the improvement in the food and the service since our last visit. Believe me, Petrus has been one of the best restaurants we have been to and it has improved a hell of a lot since we last came. Let me start with the service, it was lovely, from the moment we walked through the door. Attentive, but not too much. Explaining all the dishes in detail (standard for any good restaurant but very well done) The Sommelier, was very intrigued by our choice of wine and discussed the complexity of the wine and the grapes. We commented on a napkin configuration for one of the pre desserts, and the waiter showed us how it was made. The Food; the food was to die for. I actually hate that expression, but it was amazing. I had an extra courses of Caviar as a starter, which came with crispy waffles, an aleoni type cream an maple syrup. Devine! I think the syrup was a bit too much, but it was lovely. The most I have ever sent on caviar and worth every penny. We both had the taster menus and my wife Jane is a vegetarian. One of the best restaurants she has ever been to serving vegetarian food. She did share some with me , and her veggie, options were nearly as good as my carnivore options. Perfectly cooked venison, turbot, cheese board, port, cognac. we asked for the bill and the manager....... we had to tell him how much better this place was since we were last here. Matteo Baccanelli spoke to us for about twenty minutes about how the head cheff had changed about a year ago and brought about seven staff with him. Matteo had been here about eighteen months and had overseen many of the changes, mostly with the waiting staff and also stated that the restaurant was likely to undergo some décor changes this year. All in all , it was a lovely evening in a perfect restaurant.

Not sure where to start with this review. Firstly, I had been here before at the chefs table over a year ago. I enjoyed it so much I brought my daughters/sister for a treat. We travel extensively and have experienced many amazing culinary experiences all over the world. This however was a terrible experience. Ramsay’s Michelin star is currently not warranted. In no particular order….service was poor, no explanation of dishes on the menu, no information as to what the food on the plate was (in fact most of the staff seemed mute), never asked if we were enjoying our meal or experience. Pressed for 15% (no obligation) tip on at least an 3 occasions. I gave a tip, but not 15%, and only because my sister felt we should not cause “a fuss” as she just wanted to leave. Restaurant itself, crockery and cutlery all seemed dated and uninspiring. Atmosphere completely lacking. Value…there was none…we spent £900. I left hungry and had to order room service when back at our hotel. Quality of dishes…average at best. We chose Al la carte. This turned out to be the same size plate for starter and main course as the same dish on the tasting menu! We were repeatedly offered bread. I imagine to make up for the tiny portions. If those plates had been rich and intense in flavour then they may have been sufficient, but they were not. They were uninspiring. A wine/drinks list was not offered to us to browse. An ipad with the wine list was not given to us, but held tightly by the server whilst she advised us what to have. I asked for a particular champagne, it was nice but massively overpriced. Lastly, my 3 guests had the same “main” dish. They all then suffered from severe stomach cramp and diarrhoea. One of my daughters is a doctor and absolutely felt this was related to the food served. If I could give no stars I would. So disappointed and would not return. Debated about giving such a negative review, but having looked I could find no way of giving the restaurant direct feedback and it was not sought on the day. If you want value and an amazing 2 Michelin star experience I recommend trying Moor Hall up here in Lancashire!! Knocks spots of Ramsays place.

Four of us ate at the Chef’s Table, downstairs in the kitchen. The food was sublime, the attention to detail top notch, and the overall experience was off the charts. Each chef took time to come to the table and explain/describe their particular dish, and we were even asked to sample a potential new dish, and offer honest feedback (which we did). In all there were 8 dishes, and whilst none, on their own, seemed substantial, we were all stuffed by the end. I couldn’t even eat the extra mini birthday ‘cake’ that had been made for me. The whole experience was elevated by our waiter Caine, (he was really more of a guide to the evening), who skilfully navigated us through the various courses, and kept us entertained throughout. His brand of slightly cheeky, yet highly professional charm merely added to the occasion, and ensured we were always looked after. I thoroughly recommend the Chef’s table, but be warned, it doesn’t come cheap. The wine list in particular has nothing even remotely cheap, but so long as you know that beforehand, then you shouldn’t be shocked. Hats off to all concerned for helping my guests and I enjoy a wonderful birthday celebration.

Excellent evening at Petrus. Was our son's birthday party and it started with a card from the staff which was a nice touch. We had the a la carte menu which is billed as 3 courses but with the extra courses is more like 6. Extras were broth, canapes, sourdough bread etc. service was efficient and friendly. Food was lovely. Great evening

Seemed to be more interested in selling the add ons. Poor selection of cocktails and not really offering alternatives Food has gone down to very much average and no wow factor experienced Even the signature dishes are somewhat pared down.

My group opted for the Discovery menu (£190) and the premium wine pairing (£190). Absolutely amazing food, every dish was remarkable and surprising. Really nothing else to say that other reviewers didn’t about food or wine. Aside from that, I simply cannot give 5 stars to the place when looking at the whole experience. The price tag creates the expectation of a perfect evening. It was not. First of all, one lady serving us didn’t seem particularly happy. Not sure why. My friend asked about a specific dish and her reply was: “it’s fish”. Everyone else was top notch. Besides that, it was uncomfortably cold inside. Some guests (not only from our table) had to remain using jackets and scarves. In no other London restaurant I had a similar feeling this week. Even worse: faucet water in the bathroom was freezing. Literally freezing. Zero heating. You can’t have a £400+ bill per person and consider ok freezing cold water in a tight and cramped bathroom. I’ve been to burger joints in London better equipped for the winter. I find it unacceptable.

We were sitting at the chef’s table tonight. The food was incredible, the staff were extremely attentive and we were looked after extremely well. Each and every member were working so incredibly hard to run the kitchen. To top it all the cleaning of the kitchen was exhausting just to watch but incredibly good to see them keep the kitchen immaculately clean. This was an incredible experience. I would definitely want to visit again.. Gordon hats off to you to keep your staff so motivated. We were hoping to meet Gordon but he wasn’t there . The staff said you didn’t shout at all… we loved hearing this too!! Thanks everyone for today.

We did not even bother to go here after the bullies arranging the table called me seven times and sent three texts and two voicemails in one day to confirm and try to take a £450 deposit (for two of us) for a table booked in a month’s time. I was immediately turned off by the rude, cold approach which is a huge clash against the insane deposit being pushed for incessantly. I had to remind them that I own a company and have my own working hours so to please leave me alone! We won’t go there ever. Really bad form Gordon.

Delightful experience. We had 2 Discovery and 1 Prestige menus. The array of foods was exquisite with wonderful flavors and interesting combinations. Several additional amuse bouche and canapes included as well. Incredible wine list too. Service was impeccable and friendly. Great pace to the evening. We never felt rushed and took over 2 hours to complete the meal. Nothing pretentious and comfortable setting. Loved this gastric journey.

I do not have enough words to praise this restaurant enough When you go to a well known chefs restaurant you already have some serious expectations but wow Gordon Ramsay is absolute class We had the Prestige Taster menu with the Premium matching wines. I can’t fault or criticise a single dish or wine pairing. Perfection all the way. Thank you Carolina Seibel for all the wonderful information on the wine and also providing us with a list of the wines we tried. Thank you to all the staff that made this a evening we will remember for years to come Attention to detail was immaculate

I found Petrus very expensive especially the gin cocktails which were £22 each. Overall we had a good experience but with the additional 15% surcharge it was all too expensive.

We came for lunch as a family surprise. The lunch menu looked rather limited, but with all the beautiful extras between courses, that didn’t matter at all. The staff were extremely professional and brilliantly drilled, without being too fussy. All in all it was an occasion to remember, and really worth the expense. Thank you!

Really beautiful classical cooking. Service is wonderful; the wine list is extensive. Not perhaps as good value as it used to be. Was once priced at a level where it could be a regular haunt, but now reserved for special occasions. Expensive but probably (just) worth it.

Visited for nye with a set menu. Venue and ambience was good. Sometimes it felt that there were more staff than diners putting on their show so service levels were high, but also felt the experience was rushed. Food was excellent, but portions seemed small especially the Beef Wellington which we had at another Ramsay restaurant a few days earlier and was much better portioned.

Love this quaint restaurant in the heart of London! The staff was really friendly and helpful, and the food was super delicious! Nothing too complicated but it’s packed with flavour. The pork chop was cooked perfectly, very tender. We finished with the desserts and again, very home cooked vibe but made well! This has become a new spot for my special occasion list!

Amazing food! Came in last minute and got placed at the bar. Was really impressed with the attentive service and attention to detail. Had starters and mains with everything hitting the spot. Got to meet the chef Nick who catered to our acquired tastes. The venison toast so simple but tasted absolutely fantastic. Couldn’t fault the evening. Would fully recommend. Thank you
