We enjoyed a delicious Sunday lunch.. including a choice of vegan options - a real rarity! The service was great and the environment was very pleasant. Would definitely return.

A few days ago I enquired about the Sunday roast lunch and was told they stopped serving at 5pm .I did not think I could be there before 5.15/30 pm and asked it they could hold the meal until then. The standard response would have been very sorry blah,blah,blah. However the young woman (Cristos is I believe her name) went and spoke to the Chef and managed to get my meal delayed. The meal itself was perfect the meat was soft and tender and full of taste ,the potatoe, parsnips and yorkshire pud was also spot on . This was a surprise as having lived abroad for many years I have never been overly impressed with UK cooking. The Brits have many strengths but cooking I have never thought as being one of them ,so congrats all round. Back to the young woman Cristos not only was she very helpful on that occasion, but on others I have observed that when the bar is busy she serves and delivers drinks with the grace and speed of a Gazelle, her productivity if measured is probably twice that of any other staff (and they are no slouches ). Also thanks to Paul the barman who first recommended the Sunday lunch to me . Overall the bar has a very nice atmosphere ,the decor at first you think you have walked into a sports bar with all the screens dotted around but they in turn are surrounded by what looks like a library stolen from some country mansion, even now it brings a wry smile to my face. So yeah I like the place, all the staff are well motivated and helpful, but the jewel in the crown is Cristos whatever you are paying her double it. Regards Bob Brett
