“ Great food, lovely service and a wonderful vibe. Be prepared for additional service charge as standard. We decided to have 8 small plates betweeen the two of us, 3 drinks and a pudding to share, this came to approx 160 including service fee. Parking is easy: either stow market square or right outside the restaurant. Book in advance as it gets busy really quickly. ”
