The Boot Inn in South Cambridgeshire

Dear The Boot (Histon) I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share some feedback from a recent dining experience at The Boot in Histon, which we visited last night for dinner with a friend. Upon arrival, we experienced a delay in being acknowledged while the staff engaged in conversation at the computer. This wasn't the warmest welcome, and after bringing our presence to their attention, we were seated in a quiet restaurant. While our waitress was polite, the service throughout the evening was noticeably slow. Regarding our meal, I ordered the St Austell’s Beef and Ale pie with a side of savoy cabbage with bacon. Unfortunately, the pie contained only a few small pieces of meat held together by a greyish sauce, and both the mash and gravy were lukewarm. The cabbage side was also tepid, and the bacon resembled undercooked lardons rather than the appetizing dish I anticipated. My partner opted for the chalkstream trout, which was overcooked beyond her preference, although she did enjoy it. Our friend had the house burger, which was satisfactory, though the menu-stated cheese wasn’t available. For dessert, my partner ordered a chocolate tart, which she found delightful, yet the experience was marred by having to repeatedly seek out service for our orders and drinks throughout the evening. Additionally, we noticed cleanliness was an issue; our table was not only grubby but the varnish was worn, exposing the wood beneath which can harbours germs. Furthermore, I had to return a set of cutlery due to unappealing black squishy residue. Even fellow diners expressed dissatisfaction with their meals, indicating a broader concern with the standards of food and service currently offered. It is disheartening to witness the decline in quality and service at The Boot, particularly given its association with esteemed establishments Blanc Brasserie. Unless significant improvements are made, I am hesitant to return. Thank you for taking the time to consider this feedback. I hope it will be used constructively to enhance the dining experience for future patrons.

The food was very good, in particular the fish and chips not only it was huge but also very tasty. The tartare sauce was really good with depth of flavour. The rest of our order was also good. Nice stake and burger. The service was very friendly and professional and the atmosphere was very enticing. If I had one criticism, that would be the music. I was waiting for James Brown to pop out from a corner! Maybe a more lounge/chilled music would suit better. Overall a great experience!

Amazing place. Always love being here. Food menu could do with a few more vegetarian dishes but that doesn’t take away anything from the ambience and amazing service. Pistachio Soufflé are the best to finish the meal.

The food was brilliantly cooked and so very tasty, loved every mouthful, well worth a visit, highly recommended.

It was our go to place for years. The food keeps declining over the past couple of years now, food portions halved, prices doubled, Menu looks more like an upscale version of Weatherspoons! Not a gastro pub any more, not the food we used to eat the first 2-3 years, it has become unaffordable for most - £23 for chicken with cheep mash and a carrot sliced in half! Really a shame as it is a gem and it declines consistently, especially since it was sold to another company.

Came here to meet family for my partner's 50th. Everything was perfect: lovely drinks, amazing food and wonderful staff who were fine with us bringing our own cake. They even joined in the happy birthday sing-a-long! We do meals out for all birthdays, and even though we are in Kent and others in Bucks, will definitely come back to The Boot. 👏👏

On every occasion we have eaten here, we have had good service and excellent quality food

Really amazing food and service, will definitely be returning

First time here, booked a table for dinner. The food was good, I had the Pork Ribeye, which was very well cooked, although the sauce lacked any body and was very oily. We had two waitresses, one clearly didn’t want to be at work that day, the other was great, friendly and especially good with our kids.

Came for Easter Sunday lunch with the family. Pre-ordered the food and paid a deposit before we arrived. We were seen to our table late, it was squeezed in to fit despite booking weeks ahead, they seemed to be being greedy and overbooking beyond the restaurant space and kitchen could manage. Sat for 30 mins before starters came out, no apologies or acknowledgment of the slow service from the wait staff, food was ok but not spectacular, coffees/teas for those who ordered them came and were finished before the desserts arrived and the sauce on the sticky toffee pudding was bitter and burnt and inedible. I think it’s really gone down hill recently (maybe since it changed ownership) but our last 2 experiences now have been the same which is a real shame.

The food was good but the service was very poor. We waited a very long time for our lunch. Even when we were the last people there, the waitress walked straight past without even looking to see if we needed anything. We had to search for someone to pay. We didnt even try to order coffee because it was getting so late. There was no toilet paper in the ladies and the seat was broken. This restaurant used to be excellent but something seems to have gone wrong.

First visit to The Boot (on recommendation) and definitely didn't disappoint. We were celebrating our 35th Wedding Anniversary. Nice atmosphere, good menu and when the food arrived........ 👌

Beatrice served myself and two dear friends. She was charming and attentive. We asked to be moved to a different area as a group of young men were celebrating and slightly noisy. Really enjoyed our meal The meal was delicious, good selection of food. Lovely setting. Easy parking. No stress. We will definitely go back.

Excellent Sunday lunch. Absolutely stonking, every time

When I arrived the bar was full of young builder types who were hell bent on drinking as much as they could in their lunch break, not the relaxing environment I was expecting. The barman was of little use. Once in the restaurant, the staff were attentive, although it seemed that all members of staff were taking care of us (the amount of check backs from various members of staff was a bit intrusive). Main course was OK, a bit luke warm, but tasted alright. Dessert was a disaster, over microwaved, Raymond Blanc would have been less than pleased. Once brought to the attention of staff this was dealt with and I was offered another, which I decided not to have. The item was removed from the bill. Would I return? I doubt it. Shame.

Absolutely amazing meal and outstanding service from Zoey! The venue is wonderful, ambience great, food and service beyond all expectations. Will definitely be back and recommend to all our friends and family.

Good food, exceptional service and very nice atmosphere. Roast beef was cooked to perfection. Medium and so tender.

First time visiting at this venue. Plenty of parking and the venue was clean and welcoming. The food was well presented and delicious. We received great service with a special mention to our waitress, Beatrice, who was particularly personable. We will certainly be returning.

Impeccable service and great atmosphere. Just like it's sister restaurant, The British Queen.

Ordered roast dinner, food was warm, my beef was stone cold which was very disappointing, dessert was fine. Staff friendly. Would not recommend going for Sunday lunch, too many people for them to cope with. Very disappointing, especially for the price.

Adage is never eat out on St Valentines or Mother's days. Yesterday's Mothers day experience at The Boot was the opposite. Wonderful food especially terrine and slow cooked duck. Excellent friendly service, very dog friendly. Despite full covers, extra staff put on and all worked hard to give the diners a great experience. Well done Boot !

Visited for Mothers Day, booked for mid-afternoon. No room in the car park so had to park elsewhere (on the street). Very obvious that the team were stressed as soon as we arrived - lots of confusion and frustration between staff, including some quite harsh chastising of waitresses by more senior staff. Front of house lead especially seemed very stressed and disorganised - we asked for water when we sat down and were brought water but no glasses, and it took another ten minutes for our drink orders to be taken. Once she first came over though, our waitress (Gemma/Jenna?) was very friendly and chatty, and was very relaxed in the face of what I’m sure was a very full on day. Food was nice enough, but got the impression that it had been sat under a heat light for some time. Two of our party had a roast - pastry had gone soggy, roast veg was verging on room temperature, yorkshires had gone dry, cauliflower cheese sauce had gone a bit grainy. Quite disappointing, especially considering the price. Several things in toilet (toilet roll holder, bin) were broken. Pub in general was very noisy, though I appreciate there were a lot more young children in than a typical Sunday given the occasion! Staff were stood in the hallway to bathrooms on their phones. Overall quite disappointing, but the service of our waitress was great.

Often stop in for a drink as my local, great staff, good atmosphere and cosy

Local people talk about The Boot all the time, but I'd actually not been in years. It was a very busy lunchtime, many more people in than I would have expected. Food was really excellent. Will be back soon.

Visited with work colleagues for am evening meal. Food was really good. Prices reasonable especially for the quality. Friendly service.

Lovely food, friendly staff and our waitress Jenna was super helpful and efficient. Good service, puddings to die for. Suitable for kids as the layout allows families not to encroach on couples dining. Recommend the pistachio souffle!

Such a great find! Food was excellent, service was friendly and prompt, really enjoyed our evening, couldn't fault it.

Decided to stop for dinner while in town. Everything was amazing. The presentation was very similar to when I’ve eaten at Michelin Star restaurant. The starters were delicious, the mains were succulent, and the desert (pistachio soufflé) was divine. They even made special accommodations to my child’s meal. If you ask my kid, it gets 1 millions thumbs up; and my wife and I agree. We will definitely be back. I could not recommend this place more.

Attractive building. Local menu and delicious food. Only a limited amount of time for the table. Spacious other than the car park -- we had to park on the street. Edit: last time we The Boot 5 stars across the board. We visited again today and were disappointed by the very slow service. The staff seemed to lack initiative and they were overstretched. It was also very noisy.

Eight of us had a fortieth birthday meal at The Boot last night. The food was great. My stone bass was one of the best fish dishes I can remember - moist flesh and lovely crispy skin. We were given free prosecco to start (some sort of promotion), but what made the meal special was the kind attention paid to us by our waitress, the exquisite Lauren. Exquisite in behavioural terms, obvs...but... She picked up that it was Birthday Boy's Big Day, and unbidden brought a special ice cream dessert complete with candle. Value for money excellent. All in all a wonderful evening!

Really excellent. Fantastic food. Great staff. A firm family favourite. Returned after not having been for a while. It's still really excellent. Had a lovely family meal with wide selection of tasty starters, mains and desserts.

Great venue. Lovely staff, pleasant atmosphere. Family friendly.

Very nice Fish Soup, excellent cheese soufle and nice mussels Very good service, nice atmosphere and excellent Burgundy Pinot Noir

Great food, good selection and friendly staff. A lovely experience overall.

Great experience in a pleasant and relaxed atmosphere. Staff all very helpful, kind, efficient; food served with a minimum of waiting.

We had an excellent Sunday lunch including hearty sausages and a delicious duck.

Just popped in for a takeaway hot drink. Bit pricey but good customer service and looked like a nice pub with good food.

How lucky to have to visit the spire hospital with a poor foot!!! Recommended by a nurse off we set to The Boot!!! I am occasionally called the The Old Boot by my family so it was a gem !! I had to go!! What a find!! Fabulous service! Helpful staff! Cheese souffle, divine! Fish soup! Out of this world!! Amazing decor!! As they say just up my street!!! I love it and am thinking I will need to move closer!!! Thankyou all!! 10 out of 10!!!

Highly recommend going if you get the chance to visit as definitely worth it. The Food was delicious, so tasty and flavourful. The service was great staff were friendly, polite and helpful.

Excellent service fabulous food polite and friendly staff Superb setting and atmosphere Such a stunning building will return

Having never been here before we were excited to find out what it was like. The outside is quite understated hiding the gem that is within. Lovely relaxed atmosphere and superb food. Tastefully decorated, clean toilets and friendly and attentive service. If you are in the area, do drop in.

We were a family group of 17 for a double significant birthday celebration lunch. The food was outstanding and the service was friendly and efficient. We will go there again!

Absolutely tiny portion sizes which was such a disappointment, given the food that we did get was tasty. Had to ask the waiter what was the biggest dessert as we our main course was ridiculously small and came with no veg or potatoes (it was almost £20 for the main, therefore this was extremely disappointing!) Dessert wasn’t much better either, with the thimble size jug of custard with the crumble, which would not look out of place in the Borrowers house !!! All in all a really disappointing experience, which we will not be repeating.

The atmosphere was amazing! The food is so tasty and plenty of drinks option. Thanks for the bday surprise ☺️

The food was great - but the staff were rude and the service sloppy! What was supposed to be a special occasion (my mother’s birthday) was cut short when one of the waitresses rather rudely demanded that we vacate our table due to another booking. Whilst they do say in the booking conditions that your table is available for 2 hours, we were still within the 2-hour window when this happened. Furthermore, the restaurant had quite a few free tables, so any waiting customers could have been seated elsewhere instead of insisting that we move! And the best they could do was to offer us a “discount” Thank you for ruining my mother’s special day - next time, we will go somewhere where they know how to treat customers properly!! Have been a few times in the past, but not anymore! People don’t go to a restaurant to eat, but to socialise and the least the staff can do is to respect that!

Excellent food, the deserts were to die for

The food was nice, and a pleasant atmosphere. However, the staff were incredibly rude and unprofessional as they abruptly asked us to vacate our table due to another booking. Now, we understand that restaurants can get busy (and they do mention the 2-hour per table in their booking conditions) - but there was no need to be quite so rude about it, especially since we were still within the 2-hour window and there were other free tables (so the group supposedly waiting could easily been seated elsewhere). We had gone for my mother’s birthday, with my parents flying in from abroad especially, so it would have been nice if the staff had shown a little more consideration and professionalism. They did give us a discount by way of an apology, but they are honestly going to lose people’s business if they keep behaving like this. Remember, customer service goes a long way! This was a disappointing end to what was meant to be a family celebration (in future we’ll pick somewhere else that knows how to treat customers properly!)

Fish and chips should mean proper chips and not french fries,,fish excellent but fries very disappointing,,,Chips!

Friendly welcome on arrival, clean and tidy bistro restaurant. Accessible menu with a wide variety of dietary requirements catered for, and excellent attention to detail regarding allergies. Very professional team, great service. Cheese soufflé starter is a favourite, but lots of fish, vegan and veggie options. I went for the game terrine, which was well seasoned, the spiced rhubarb compote was an excellent accompaniment along with the toasted sourdough. Main courses all looked very good, but we all went for herb custed stuffed lamb roulade as the sides sounded particularly well matched. It's bistro style, so expect decent portions and simple veg garnish, lots of dauphinoise potato on the menu as well, no bad thing. Pistachio soufflé for pudding, very well executed, and great deals in January if you sign up to marketing. One or two alcohoc dronks at lunchtime meant it wasn't super-cheap, but this is only to be expected. This place has consistently good food and service, and held this all year round for several years. Very much strongly recommended.

Lovely evening, took advantage of the January offer with half price main courses which was ace! Always really good atmosphere and food.

As soon as we arrived we were told that once we sit down we are on our two hour time limit…fine, if a little rude (though in that two hours we only had time for one course as it was horrendously slow so I think it’s cheeky to put that time limit on customers seeing as it’s not our fault!!). This was just the start. We had to ask to order drinks, ask to order food, it then took an hour to get any food and our plates were not removed for about 20 minutes afterwards. We were not offered more drinks or a dessert menu when our plates were finally cleared. We were so annoyed that we decided to just get the bill (again, had to flag someone over to ask). We got the bill and surprise surprise we had to ask to then pay. The experience was exhausting and the worst we’ve had in a long time.

O ambiente é muito agradável, aconchegante e quente. O comer é muito saboroso, muito bem preparado. O serviço é que foi um pouco lento, mas o staff era simpático

Just had the most amazing lunch. Staff were all very attentive and lovely and will certainly be coming back 😀

Amazing food and really great service. We had such a wonderful all round experience and will definitely be going back again.

We received a voucher for a meal for our 40th birthdays and really enjoyed the food, atmosphere and service. We'd highly reccomend a visit.

Great place to eat, food was great standard. The staff were so friendly too.

I can't rate this place highly enough! The staff were wonderful, friendly and attentive. Covid regulations were clearly explained and we were given the option of a more distanced service too. The food was incredible, both my partner and I enjoyed it immensely and I would recommend The Boot to anyone. Especially if they want a perfectly cooked leg of duck. When the bill came the machine didn't give me the option of a tip and they were not accepting cash (I wish I had asked to up the card payment) so for now this review will do but I will revisit at the next opportunity!

Had the cheese soufflés and it was stunning 😍

Such a lovely experience! Food was a real cut above average pub grub, and really reasonably priced with the set menu. Service was attentive and friendly, and the atmosphere was spot-on. Super dog friendly too which is always a plus!

Great food - the lamb roulade was especially delicious. Service was friendly and helpful, atmosphere was relaxed. Very competitive prices compared with other local venues. Super gasttropub for all ages with a warm welcome.

From the moment we walked in there was a lovely relaxed and cosy atmosphere, busy but tables are set in a way where it still feels private. Great service and tasty food, all came out quickly and together. I look forward to our next visit.

Had a great experience meeting up with friends between Xmas and new year. Very busy (had booked) but service was friendly and chatty without being annoying. Trout main was good, husband’s steak a bit chewy which for over £30 with sauce was a bit below expected, friends’ burger and steak pie looked good and they enjoyed. Starters were really nice and interesting. There are two car parks accessed from different roads - worth knowing. Overall very positive experience and would happily revisit.

Absolutely fantastic experience here on Boxing Day. Cannot fault a thing - food was incredible, staff were excellent, service was professional and timely and the whole experience was superb. The team there worked so well together. A joy to watch. Highly highly recommend.

Once I read about the change in ownership to a chain I immediately understood our recent experience after some excellent visits in the past. Gnocchi were not good (more like icky roast potatoes), soup not hot. On positive side, trout and pork were nice but processed was high for relatively small portions. Steak and ale pie decent. Prices quite high for what you get. Can’t seem to decide if this is high end or regular pub fare with all prices at the high end (£5 for green beans side!!?). Sadly, we won’t be back.

We went for Christmas lunch with the work team. Once we had been served our mains, the waitress came round to ask “do you want a small bowl full of pigs in blankets for £3”. We thought it was odd as the Turkey didn’t come with any. We ordered 2 bowls for the table. When they arrived, there were 3 mini pigs in blankets in a ramekin (definitely not a bowl full). I checked and they said it was correct and smirked at us. The manager was made aware I had queried it but didn’t once come over to us to ask if everything was ok. The sprouts were very hard and it was a shame for a nice restaurant to not have roast potatoes with the Turkey. I must say the beef main was very good, probably one of the best I’ve had in a restaurant.

We went to the boot on a Thursday in December, which is always going to be busy. However, the service was very slow. We waited around an hour between our starter and main course, and were starving by the time it arrived. The cheese soufflé was very nice and the chicken was good, but the portion size was a little reserved. The atmosphere is nice but I probably wouldn't recommend for the price.

I’m literally sitting here, have been sitting here, in the middle of the restaurant on a table by myself and it’s been 15 minutes and no one has come and served me. No I’m one has asked me if I would like a drink! Nothing! Will update review every ten minutes longer I’m sitting here with no service as staff continue to just walk past me.

Amazing food, ambience and service!! Ample parking options. Loved my halloumi burger and pistachio souffle. . Looking forward to visit again !!

food was good a little overpriced, the service let the experience down , had to ask twice for another drink which finally arrived 10 mins after my main course arrived, the staff were forgetful and liked to stand around chatting , good food let down by the waiting staff

Three visits within a couple months - each time food was excellent but marred by poor/indifferent service by some (not all) staff members. Love the dining space but looking tired and grubby, particularly around the staff work station. Until now the food compensated for the less than good service. I know hospitality brings its pressures but if you’re not a people person find another job!

I have had three dinners in recent months with work colleagues and friends at The Boot. The restaurant itself is homely and well decorated which makes it a lovely venue for dinner. However we have increasingly found that the menu is very over-priced for what are often very small portions of fairly average food. Our most recent visit was for our company Christmas meal which was both expensive and underwhelming. Considering the high cost, the mediocre turkey main was low in both quality and quantity. Service was also chaotic and at times rude, especially from a quite angry restaurant manager. This was compounded by the non arrival of mince pies and coffee at the end of the meal and a final bill which over charged us. Overall a very disappointing experience. We wont be returning which is a shame as the The Boot could be so much better in the right hands.

We had booked a works meal and emailed ahead of time to request 2 out of 6 required items from the main menu and not the Christmas menu. On arrival we were told this wasn't possible and yes they had received email but chose not to respond. After emphasising that the vegetarian option really was not suitable it was agreed to allow a main menu option. We did find the service very poor and the waitress came across very abrupt on any requests. We then received our mince pies, may I suggest it is added to the menu that these are mini...very mini! We then received the bill and on checking we had been charged for the said mince pies which were included in the menu. We did highlight this error and the charge was removed. Overall my experience was very disappointing which is a shame as my expectations were high.

Amazing experience !! Had a great time with my friends .Chef Saurabh exceeded expectations in terms of flavour.Service was great and friendly . Zoe took care of us . Will definately visit again .Food was to die for .Anthony was friendly as well.

Food was good but service very poor. Slow. No attention and after waiting 15 mins only way to get served was to flag down a waiting staff member.

The menu is seasonal. They are always willing to cater to food allergies and intolerances. The squid and chorizo plate was tasty. Though it was a busy Friday night, the staff were attentive and consistently checked on us. I’d have loved dessert yet the sorbet was the only thing I could have had. Too cold for a winter’s night. The busyness made it loud and difficult on my husband’s tinnitus yet it was very festive. We’ll try the pub and drinking area next time.

Yet another really enjoyable evening in a snug pub with an interesting menu, good for vegetarians at a reasonable price.

Very poor service sadly. Our table got overcharged about 100 pounds, and they refused to listen and demanded payment. Ended up paying 60 pounds for the christmas menu + one drink, which is absurd. Food was good, but portion for vegetarians was quite a bit smaller vs meat portions.

A lovely atmosphere, great service, and superb food. The soufflés and crumble were excellent. Both our guests had the stone bass, followed by apple crumble which they said was the best they had ever had

Fabulous lunch, absolutely delicious food. We will definitely go again. This was a virgin experience voucher meal, so we are glad we found this restaurant for the future.

We visited in a Saturday - 4.30pm sitting as a family of 6. We’ve been coming to the boot for many years and it’s always been perfect. I am assuming it’s because of the change of management but tonight was so disappointing. Food good but...

The food was incredible. Very high quality. The staff were lovely and very helpful. It's quite expensive, but we'll worth the money. I will certainly be visiting again.

Tolle pub Atmosphäre mit gehobene Flair. Essen, Service Tops aber Vorsicht - Cash Free (nur Karten!) Freundlichen Service und Ambiente machten es zum 5* Besuch. 😋😁

I was left disappointed with the Beef sunday roast. For £20 I expect something superior and whilst the bottomless element sounds good it essentially means you are given a small portion to begin with and need to ask for more when ready. The beef was delicious though, the place itself is nicely decorated and the staff are friendly enough.

The food was very good but I felt on the pricey side for a pub, albeit a nice pub. I'd probably only consider dining again if there was a deal on offer. I had 3 courses and a drink for just under £60....it was the...

Excellent restaurant. (I think it calls itself a brasserie). Remarkably good food -- probably the best steak and ale pie I have eaten for a long time. Sensible young staff who know their job. Pleasant ambience. We loved it.

Fabulous food & excellent service. We were greeted warmly by friendly & attentive staff. We had perfectly cooked tender steak, delicious stone bass & melt in the mouth ribeye pork followed by delicious desserts & a large cheeseboard. It was a little pricey (£188 for...

Since change of management (?) the menu has taken a tumble and the service is struggling. Value for money not good. We won’t be visiting again

Oh dear, what a shame nothing like the quality and service provided by the previous owner. Hartwood Inns seem to have lowered the offering, jacked up the prices and reduced the service level. Meals now no longer include veg which has to be ordered as a 'side' meaning a meagre Pie, chips & green beans costs an eyewatering £21.99 and is served on a flaking piece of wood to Boot! Pun intended. Drinks specifically ask to be without ice were delivered with ice and the juvenile waiting staff seemed phased at even basic requests, such as can I have a plate for my pie. The menu is now fancily described pub grub, no longer tasty cuisine, not one of our 6 person party had anything good to say about our wholly unsatisfactory lunch experience. We left after the main foregoing what would probably have been a rip off dessert where a plate was an extra. Such a shame that Hartwood Inns don't realise they can only trade on a previous owners good reputation for a short time. None of our party will be returning anytime soon ....

Party of 6 for lunch, in what used to be one of our favourite restaurants. Service could only be considered as bizarre, three members of staff came (all at the same time!) to take drinks orders and were specifically asked not to put ice in...

Another excellent meal in the company of our 2 cousins who were impressed by the food and service. The fillet steak was perfectly cooked and very tender. The other main courses of Applewood smoked pork ribeye and Herb-crusted lamb roulade were also very good. As...

Wonderful food and staff were so helpful in arranging a little birthday surprise. Highly recommended for special occasions or a treat.

One of the best fine dines in ever visited. Staff are nice and service time is quick. We trued the vegetarian options and they were mind bogglingly delicious . Do try their dips with sourdough. Ambience is warm and beautifully done.

Great pub with good beer and food. Service was excellent.

Very poor service, we had to send the steak back to be cooked more because it was medium rare rather than well done. We weren't told it was steak night so ended up not being given the free wine with our meal, we were given...

Excellent meal. Restaurant busy, so slow service but staff attentive, friendly with vibrant atmosphere. This is the best pub/restaurant in Histon and a real gem where a good meal is guaranteed. My partner and I really enjoyed his Birthday treat dinner.

Great friendly staff and nice food. Good atmosphere

Nice pub with friendly staff and decent food.

Lovely pub and great service but some portion sizes are small

The food was delicious but they seem to have split dishes so that instead of having a plateful of food, you have to order anything beyond the main ingredients as sides, making it quite a pricey lunch. I took the roasted aubergine (£15 ish) which was beautifully tasty ... but it was literally half an aubergine, about ten small (1.5cm) cubes of pumpkin and some daubs of various sauces. Unfortunately we didn't have time to order more sides so I left hungry. Last time I'd visited I couldn't finish everything. I wouldn't rush back.

Food was great, the service wasn't good though. Waited almost an hour for someone to remember we had ordered desert. Overall we enjoyed it but probably wouldn't go back.
