A bit pricier but oh so delicious. Small plates to share, great wine list. They do a really good Sunday lunch set menu, which is more affordable than going for dinner.

A proper old pub that has been given a really nice reno. The upstairs dining room is designed by Martino Gamper. Go on a Sunday for the set menu lunch, cheaper than doing lunch or dinner any other time. If it's on the menu, the brown butter tart is mind-blowing.
