    I suppose this as good a place as any to put this. As the Aforementioned Bacon loving muslim from earlier in the thread have a review of sorts for you.

    On Saturday I had the pleasure of my better half taking me here for dinner.

    They only do a set menu at £15 for 2 courses, or £20 for 3, so not that cheap, particularly for us, but as it was a special occasion, we treated ourselves.

    The setting was absolutely lovely, and as we were having a particularly early dinner, we caught people who were having the tale end of their afternoon tea. The whole room is decked out like a 1930s tea room, with waiting staff in pseudo period dress, and songs of the era playing on a gramophone. Very twee, and not the sort of thing that would normally be to my liking, but surprisingly I enjoyed it.

    Onto the food. Is tarted with the welsh rarebit which was served with a side salad. I know this is essentially just cheese with cream on toast, but lovely cheese was cooked, and it was served to perfection, I really enjoyed it. Nhatt had I think it was a stunning looking Puy lentil and something else salad. I'd love to say how good it was, but she enjoyed so much I didn't get to try any.

    For the mains I had the portabello mushroom burger and chips. Standard gastro pub fair, but once again served to perfection. They were out of the haloumi cheese this was meant to be served with, so I had it with goats cheese. It was also served with a beautiful onion relish and their home made mayo. Lovely.

    Nhatt had the beer battered Tofu, chips and peas, again served with homemade Mayo. And once again she enjoyed this so much that I had none of it!

    Whilst eating, I also looked at what other people were eating around us, and whilst I can't testify as to how it tasted it looked stunning. there was a beetroot Tarte au tatin, and the home made veggie sausages and beans.

    Portions were sizeable and I struggled to finish mine. Whilst it sounds like standard gastro pub food, it was done to a far higher quality than I've encountered in your normal gastro pub.

    We left incredibly satisfied.

    Also worth noting if you're there for just a pint, the veggie sausage rolls are brilliant. I used to love drinking here and eating their meat filled sausage rolls with a pint, and was surprised last month when I ordered one and it was veggie, but it didn't disappoint.

    Definitely worth going to, and even the most hardened meat eater will enjoy the food. If they don't they're more than likely lying.
