Customers like Nick Bryan commend the intimate venue, making it ideal for concerts while offering a good bar to unwind before or after the show.

While prices may be on the higher side—Gary Jelks notes £7 for a sandwich—the quality of the food justifies the cost.

Great small venue. Saw Stillmarillion and now looking forward to going back. Good atmosphere, not too big, good bar and fantastic staff. Had standing tickets which gave a good view but curious to try the menu as well.

Very tasty food but a bit pricey, 7 for a sandwich. Plenty of choice from the menu and of the fresh cakes. Lots of tables and the service is good Food is all prepared fresh so a wait is likely especially during busy periods. Staff were friendly and helpful. Highly recommended. Will go back.

Wonderful! We attended a concert with dining. As a concert venue it is intimate with a true feeling of being involved. The food is very good and everyone is so welcoming and pleased to see you. They have amazing items of furnishings, pictures, jewellery and lots more on sale in their shop and a Roger Dean gallery with his amazing paintings and prints. Wonderful!

Outstanding venue. Fantastic food at a fair price. Lots of original and interesting items in the shop, worth a visit just for the shop. Live music and often Jazz on Sunday with lunch. Very chilled. One of my favourites.

Food is amazing! And the portion sizes are good for their price. The menu specifies gf, veg, vegan etc and is very helpful if you have intolerances such as gluten. The tables are mot crowded together and the atmosphere is relaxing. Wonderful staff too!
