Another visit to this awesome hotel. The decor, linen and cutlery are pristine. The food is always delicious. Great service. Thanks again. Just a piece of advice, phone before you go, just in case they are catering for a wedding. This avoids disappointment.

We popped in for lunch. The pub is small, however what we had was generous sized and I recommend the home made chips! Pub is clean and bar staff friendly

We ate here prior to going to an evening performance at the Northern College of Art. The restaurant is in the centre of town, just a couple of doors down from the college, overlooking a pedestrianised area. We booked in advance and were given a lovely window table. The decor is fabulous - colourful, quirky with an amazing spiral staircase. The staff were so friendly. We had the 2 course evening special -£20 which included a complimentary drink. I had the gin recommended by our waitress (Monkey 47 - really good). We shared an antipasto. I had the chilli - made from well cooked beef rather than minced meat - delicious!!! - accompanied by chunky chips. Unfortunately I was so full I couldnât finish the chips. My husband had the chicken which he also enjoyed. We shared a desert. Will definitely go again.

Celebrated a birthday night out with 10 family and friends and can only say after nearly 5 years in business this restaurant is consistent in its service, food quality , ambience and perfection in its food presentation. Every starter, main course and for the 3 of us who could manage a dessert was served piping hot in a manner that could not be improved. I promised myself chicken and king prawn dish and was not disappointed. The sauce was amazing. Well done Tony and team. You should be very proud of your success. Special mention to waitress Elisha who continues to welcome all customers in a calm friendly manner.

Four of us went for breakfast here on a Monday morning. We had eggs Benedict, eggs royale and 2 small breakfasts. Great value on the cooked breakfasts as your hot drink is included in the price. Place is interesting and quirky with a war-time theme. My only small criticism would be that the hollandaise sauce on the egg dishes was bland and the balsamic reduction overpowered everything else. Would still go again.
