The meal was amazing, portions were just perfect, the choices on menu were adventurous, we both were full leaving together with a lovely bottle of wine / baileys coffee consumed and the company was amazing also. We had the pleasure of chatting to Gareth after our meal(head chef and co-owner). Lovely people and so down to earth. Guys if want to treat your loved ones to a great night I would recommend Campagne 1 million percent. We will be back definitely. Alan
