First visit since the new owners and refurbishment, we went for Sunday lunch, the decor and seating was lovely, the service was excellent and the food was superb, we sat in the bar area and would probably choose another area as the bar was busy, but definitely recommend and will definitely visit again.

First time eating here since the new owners but food was really good . A lovely meal .I have some very difficult allergies to accommodate. Felt well taken care of, listened too and safe eating there. Soufflé was to die for ,best I’ve had for many years . Ambience slightly spoilt by the door to the bar being left open and a loud repetitive laugh :) . We did close the doors ourselves . Main course an excellent choice too . Compliments to the chef Definitely coming again great food helpful staff , thanks Andrea for the suggestion to have ice cream with the chocolate brownie. it was just what was needed . Thank you for a great evening

We really enjoyed the food, the tapas selection was great!! The size of the portions could’ve been a little bigger, as there was 4 people, it would’ve been nice to have 4 of the same thing rather than 3, but lovely atmosphere!

Burger was quite dry. Calamari soggy. Neither were bad but could be nicer. Wife’s roast was very good though and the staff were great, so would try the roast next time and a different starter.

The bistro area was on the cold side to eat in. Food taste was good but some dishes were tepid. No hot drinks available after dinner at 7.30pm due to machine switched off & cleaned for the day ?!?z

Always liked coming to solo bar but on this occasion not its best Food generally outstanding but roast chicken tasted reheated. Chicken was dry and potatoes and parsnips were over cooked on most of the meals Whilst our waitress was lovely the Service was very slow. I would think twice about visiting for food again.

My Prawn starter was rubbery and tasted funny so I left it, the others said their starters were just alright. The mains were ok, meat was good quality but the amount and choice of vegetables was poor, the roast potatoes were very dry, if your not going to serve mashed potatoes then the roasts need to be good. We all agreed that the vegetables and amount let the meal down
