The fish here is always excellent, and the service beyond reproach. It always has a buzzy but homely ambience. Have been coming here ever since the refurbishment about 12 years ago and pleased to say despite various management changes, John and Mark keep the ship on course.

Wine prices seem to be escalating a bit!!

Took the decision to have a pre theatre meal here and was well looked after to the extent that our order was priority and we received attentive service to make our performance. The food was of a very good standard and the flavors were allowed to speak for themselves. The delicate spicing in the Monkfish and Tiger Prawn curry was particularly noteworthy. Equally beautifully flavored was the Cod cheeks and Tongue with wild mushroom.

Sad to say the prices here were very high for food that showed little cookery skill or technique. £100 (including 2 glasses of the house white) for two people which included a fish pie and a salad of few key ingredients represents poor value. Equally disappointing was the charge for a side of green beans. Have been quite prepared to pay top Michelin star price for food and although this has none it's priced as if it was considered very high end. Yes the ingredients are the freshest and most flavorsome, and their sourcing is probably a contributory factor, but for us the pricing does not seem justifiable.
