Top tier scran. Yes, we came with 50% off small plates with the September deal, but for quality and execution would pay full price tomorrow. Incredibly impressed with both the meat and vegan offerings - enough choice for the latter to not feel restricted. Portion size was generous and well worth standard pricing. We had red pepper houmous (VE), truffle potatoes (VE), shittake mushrooms (VE), miso carrot (VE), chickpea fritters (VE), ratatouille (VE), pork belly, jerk trout, paneer and steak. Chickpea fritters (VE) and pork belly were our highlights, special mention to the paneer - as big as your hand!!! Additionally, we couldn't fault the service. Wish we'd got the name of our server (blonde, glasses, very personable), helped make our evening enjoyable. Can't wait to return.

Went for brunch the day after the Great North Run. Suggested by our lad who lives in Newcastle but I wasn't sure at first as we had just had breakfast at the hotel. How wrong I was because the food was amazing and would definitely be visiting again!! Photos below!!!! Visit this place, you will not be disappointed!

Came here for some cocktails and dinner and was absolutely lovely! We’re vegan and had plenty of options and the waitress talked us through the menu where they could make adjustments. Every dish was so delicious. Lovely staff too and fun vibes at the bar and terrace

I'd only been here for drinks before which were all amazing, so many cocktails to choose from. But came for food to celebrate a graduation and we had the best time. The person working, Sam, was amazing and she was fully attentive to all the tables even though it was busy and she was the only one working. The food we had was also so good. Lovely place with lots of plants and lights. Will definitely be coming again!

Myself and my partner did not know what to expect from this place. The idea of sharing plates is great...the amount of food you get on each plate is a little bit less than I'd like for the price, but I do have a decent appetite. The food was great, and very well presented. Harrisa Smoked Salmon - although you wouldn't be able to tell as there was no hint of Harrisa, did not spoil the food however. Well presented and tasty. The Miso Beef Cheek was brilliant, very tasty and very well presented. The tear apart foccachia bread was good, and very tasty. As were the cranberry and brie balls. The pigs in blankets were a nice idea, very tasty, but the bowl of truffle and parmesan potatoes was huge, very un-characterisitic of the theme of the entire table given such small portions in comparison. We tried the after eight Cocktail, which was nice. I am confused why there was no mention of the price of the bottle of still water on the menu? I looked it over and over but couldn't find it. All in all we paid just south of 80 for our meal, two snacks, two sides, two mains, two cocktails and a bottle of water. Happy to pay this, but I was still hungry when we left. Would recommend this place to anybody. Well done!

Really enjoyed our brunch here. We turned up quite early today but they let us sit outside to have a coffee whilst we waited. Loads of choice on the menu as well as loads of different and unique options on there too. Really attentive staff as they keep coming over to offer you drinks. Really reasonably priced too. Really reccomend.
