The Times wrote “The menu feels democratic too: set lunches, sarnies, dry-aged steaks and a sophisticated carte with superlative sides. At night the inn has a hollowed-out feel, with come-hither candlelight flickering in every window, while for daytime there’s a sunlit new side room, popular for champagne breakfasts and afternoon teas.”
