Thank you Botanist.
We had an absolutely fantastic evening, the bar staff couldn’t have looked after us more, the band was brilliant. My friends and I had such a fun evening singing and dancing that two days later I still have no voice. I’m not sure it’s a dancing venue but the band was so good we did anyway 😂.
We’ll definitely be returning. A special thanks to the lovely guy on the bar who’d done a double shift with the football on who was smashing and really looked after us all. He deserves a pay rise.

Had lunch with another couple on a Wednesday. Service was very good as was the food. Been here a few times and it never fails. Such a feel good place. Well done. Two.of us had the pork hanging kebab, what a good choice and our barstaff man said we could have our choice of dripping sauce. Perfect.

Me and a few friends went out for dinner here and had a really lovely time. Our waiter, Alex, was fantastic. Very informative about the menu, knew what to recommend and was so friendly and full of laughter, everything you want when dining out! The food was lovely, drinks even better. Wasn’t my first visit and definitely not my last

We were shown to our tables by a lovely waiter and he let us know the specials from the menu. Lovely food, drinks and atmosphere and service. The sticky toffee pudding and the peaches and cream cookie dough were our highlights for me and my sister in law. Overall great experience and we will be returning soon.

Great place for a meal and drinks with friends. Food is great, the hanging kebabs are an interesting twist and super tasty too. Their own twist of classic cocktails and their own creations are great too, and desserts... oh wow!
I love that the menu is not too long so one is not overwhelmed by choice, and all choices are amazing to be honest.
Definitely recommend this place

Not what we expected. Thought it would be more of a brasserie. But the style is more rural, as you can see from the pictures. Also, the food is mostly Turkish inspired, kebabs and flatbreads. Again, unexpected.
Overall, it was fine, though. The service was good.

Went on a Friday night. Service was quick but most tables were reserved so we had to sit at the bar. Cocktails were very pretty and extremely tasty. Prices are what you would expect. Nice place for one or two drinks.

Amaaazing brunch with a great concept and unique vegan options! Loved getting the chance to taste a little bit of everything with the brunch menu. The interiors are very cool. Highly recommend.
