Very good. Room temp was very hard to control and room prep needed better attention to detail. Staffing very good apart from one person - we returned from a dinner around 10pm, she was clearing up behind the bar and it was very clear when we asked for nightcaps she wasn’t exactly enthused! Shame as other staff super friendly. Overall, would definitely recommend and return
