Well where to begin...me and my wonderful girlfriend came here for game night on the 2nd of November 2010. We were greeted with a smile and a warm welcome and shown to our table. After we had perused the menu we finally ordered, both of us plumping(no pun intended) for the Pigeon breast as our starter, followed by the Duck and the Partridge. For dessert we both chose the Apple and chestnut crumble with Vanilla custard.
Overall the cooking was a very good standard, our starters and main courses were well cooked and presented with good piquancy in both sauces. The desserts however were a little on the dry side although the lovely home made vanilla custard made up for it!
In summary as per usual the food was excellent throughout, the general service was pretty good apart from the inefficiency of the so called wine expert (Sean) really didn't leave us with a pleasant overall experience. From what I could gather the wine expert wasn't a direct employee so after only receiving 3 glasses out of 4 of the wines, we had to ask where he had gone leaving both of us a glass of wine light but also with an unanswered wine quiz sheet.
The matter was handled brilliantly with great charm by Tamas, he retrieved the situation...albeit I feel it was not actually his responsibility to do so in the first place so well done!!
Well worth a visit again....just avoid the wine waiter on theme nights
