Impressive variety of interesting dishes. Lots of fresh salad and bright flavours. The mexican cerviche with prawns was excellent. Service was attentive and informative. The margaritas were great to start with. Limited range of white wine with nothing particularly dry. We had a great Malbec then chose to try out the extensive range of mezcals and tequilas rather than dessert.

The food was fantastic and the portions somewhat overgenerous. The wine was sublime. The service was excellent. It was pricey though. I would recommend The Woodhouse for special occasions.

Betel Boy's food was excellent. The dumplings were fresh and the duck pancakes and chicken wings so delicious. It was a great lunch, not too heavy as we could pick a few share plates to indulge on. I'd like to go back and try dinner soon. Can highly recommend.
