    Another lovely lunch at the meeting place kitchen. As always Gultan greeted us with a friendly smile and great service. I'm a wheelchair user and she was super helpful moving the chairs so i could get to our table. Food and wine were lovely too and such a great spot on a sunny day!

    Third time I’ve been here for brunch/lunch with a large group this year, and they have been brilliant every single time. From the moment of booking through to paying the bill and saying goodbye, the service has been consistently excellent. What really stood out was how accommodating, helpful, and friendly the staff were throughout. Other places we contacted seemed to dismiss us because we were a group of 12, but here nothing felt like too much trouble. They made the whole process easy and stress-free, ensuring everyone felt welcome and looked after. A big thank you to the team for their professionalism and warm hospitality. We’ll definitely be back.

    Great drinks menu and staff were very friendly. The drinks were made in front of us as we had seats next to the bar. The service was excellent and the staff were always making sure we were okay.

    We went there to get away from the hot weather during the late May bank holiday in 2026. Lovely food and drinks, a bit of music in the garden which was fun too and generally good vibes. Will be going back. It had been far too long. Would recommend.
