We had a meal here on a Saturday evening. The restaurant was packed (we had booked earlier that afternoon, booking essential) and many of the diners were seeing a show at the attached cinema after their meal. The restaurant is quite large, but also quite intimate in the way it has been set out, very atmospheric. The food is vegetarian... More

The cinema and dinner deal is excellent value for money. We were very impressed with the restaurant as we don't normally opt for vegetarian places. The food was excellent and the atmosphere great. It's deceptive how large the restaurant is from the outside. We will certainly be visiting again!

Our experience was so good that we returned the following evening. On both occasions the food was excellent and the service top class. This is a lovely Restuarant, Extremely comfortable and very welcoming. The menue choice is very good and we found it difficult to choose. We will return.

You would not expect to find a restaurant like this in a small market town. It is very stylish and the food is excellent. Service is always prompt and friendly. You can also reserve a cinema seat with your booking.

The food was probably the best vegetarian food I have ever had. I am not a vegetarian but my wife is and used to eat here years ago, so being in the area we thought we would give it a try. We are so glad we did as the service and food quality was first class and very reasonably priced.
