Fantastic food, atmosphere and service on valentines evening! Would definitely recommend. Only negative is that we booked after seeing the valentines special a couple of weeks ago priced at £50 for two people 6 dishes, one dessert with a bottle of wine included. We arrived and forgetting about the offer we placed our food order and drinks order of a pint and a Prosecco. Due to having a second round of the same drinks again and a dessert each our total bill was £90 including an £8 service charge. Understandable you could say that this is our fault, however it would have been the right thing from a professional service point of view to have either been asked are we wanting to order one of the 3 valentines deals that were advertise on social media or order off menu separately. On reflection it feels like this was not offered to us as they knew they could and will make more money of customers. Additionally to add a service charge of £8 on when the restaurant is not in a city centre, nor did we see it mentioned on the menu seems wrong. (Feels like this is exploiting the area the restaurant sits in) We are more than happy to tip when we receive fantastic service but prefer this to be of our choice rather than forced. Slightly put off by the experience, however the quality of the food and the in service friendly and professional manner of the colleagues means we will return at some point.
