The restaurant has good ambience and nicely decorated for the Christmas season, the service was good, we got a separate room for all the people to be sitted together in a nice little room, however the food wasn't really as anticipated, but nevertheless a good attempt to impress the critique.
Starter: Smoked salmon roulade with water cress & caper berry salad
One of the best starter except that the portion is relatively small, fresh smoked salmon...
Main Course: Roast turkey with pancetta wrapped chipolata & chestnut & cranberry stuffing
Turkey is well roasted, moderate gravy with it, stuffing was good, Cauliflower Cheese was too wet, prefarably to be more cheesy....
For the dessert, I had a Christmas Pudding Flamed with Brandy in White Sauce, it is just some normal piece of dessert and nothing special can be said of it...
The Christmas dinner is always about the people you eat with and it often make the food irrelevant anymore, because what we enjoyed was the time spent together at the festive seasons...
However, it is not the excuse for the food to be under par of a modest restaurant standard...
This restaurant found a good balance between the two, private room with least intervention from the staffs yet helpful when approached really make them outstanding from others, but from the food perspective, still a big improvement to be made!
Service 7/10
Food 5/10
Overall rating 6.5/10
