Went here for lunch with my wife. The entrance was blocked by a large group of old men drinking and smoking. I was quite surprised about it as they should have been asked to move at least on one side of the entrance. They left a trail of cigarette's smoke which was quite unpleasant. The restaurant is actually nice, the food is prepared well and elegantly presented. We had a duck mousse to share which was nice and buttery. The other ingredients on the plate were also very well prepared and matched. The smoked duck slices were from the end of the breast and there was equal amount of fat and meat. For the price they charge for a starter I would have expected better slices. I had the pork as main and this was also very well prepared. Meat was cooked to perfection. The dish was rich, winey and sweet. Only critic I can make is that both dishes were probably slightly bland/flat taste, very buttery but not enough salt. The pickles and jams in the starer could have been a bit more vibrant and the pork dish needed a bit of salt both on the meat and mash. The desserts were very nice. Sticky toffee pudding had a lightness to it which was pleasant. Apple crumble was very fruity. All in all, a very good restaurant, unfortunately too expensive (London prices if not more). The area unfortunately does not offer many options when you are looking for good food so they have very little competition.
