    Do NOT book here - EVER. We should have walked out as soon as we sat down at the bar area. There were cobwebs everywhere, a random printer, odd chairs and dirty stools, and the owners papers all over the table - it felt worn and scruffy and it didn’t seem like the Loft of 3 years ago when the chef/owner ran it. We booked here to have a Sunday lunch for my mothers birthday, but we were told we had to have the Christmas menu (even though it said on the menu itself that it was Mon-Sat lunch time only)!? This set menu was fixed at £35 a head. It felt odd that there was no a la cart, as this was not mentioned when we booked it on their website. But we decided to stay and try it - which proved a very costly mistake. Each ‘course’ was revolting - our meat looked like it had been microwaved from frozen with all the white protein seeping out and was dry with no taste at all, vegetables were either over done or under done, if you wanted sauce with their dry microwaved turkey they didn’t have it! Our starter was cauliflower fritters which were in fact 3 fried balls of a gluey substance flavoured with a faint curry powder, we couldn’t tell if there was cauliflower in there. The puddings were also terrible - an oily brownie with squirty cream which was described as baileys cream. The chocolate fondant was slightly better in that it tasted less oily and more like chocolate. The final slap was a bill of £193 for 4 people for the worst meal I’d ever eaten/ tried to eat. I wish I’d refused to pay for such terrible food and spoken up with how disappointed we felt. This restaurant should not be open, and it’s owner is not fit to run it. It is criminal to serve food that awful and expect people to dine there. A meal for 4 people will be approximately this price in 2022, however you do expect good quality, care and skill to go into the food served - all of which was lacking at the Loft. Avoid the Loft - we really wish we had :(

    The quality and size of the Christmas Menu meal was very good - 4 courses with crackers too. The restaurant was a little hard to find being down a quaint little alleyway and up a flight of steps. The building was lovely with oak beams and a real feel of a medieval loft. Even though it was a Saturday lunch time in December it was very quiet - perhaps diners had had trouble finding the place! The service was very attentive and quick. Perhaps a little pricey but still a lovely time was had by all!

    Came across this little gem of a restaurant in a little court yard hidden away upstairs . The food was so good, a good voice of starters and main courses. The halibut was cooked to perfection unfortunately I couldn’t fit pudding in but will definitely be back

    A lovely location with great food and good service too. The tuna tartare was delicious! It was very quiet which was strange for a Saturday evening, only 2 others tables with people on them but I think that was down to the hot weather. We'd tried to book about 6 months prior and couldn't get in. Would definitely recommend it for a date night.

    Waited an hour for food - staff very young and inexperienced told us mix up in the kitchen, manager however couldn’t do enough to get things sorted - my food good but everyone else unimpressed- would suggest more training of staff including chefs - has potential
