I've been coming here regularly for a year now. The food is always delicious. It is the only place that I know in where they give you great bread for free. The wine list is extensive and each bottle that I had was great value and really delicious. And finally, the staff are always nice, friendly and very efficient, I... More

Reservation taken at short notice, on understanding we would vacate within an hour. Service matched the one hour criteria without been rushed. Fabulous ambiance in a very old building full of nostalgia, excellent food at reasonable price considering the good quality

Had a lovely meal here, greek salad to start, Stuffed fillet special for main. Staff helpful and friendly, always checking all is okay. Not the cheapest meal but the taste is worth the cost. There is also a value option for the smaller purse. Would recommend to anyone who fancies a special night out.

Food and service were excellent, fantastic atmosphere even have an open fire!!! Great selection and great value, very good wine list, impressive daily specials also. Only thing is to make sure and ring as soon as you can to get a booking as I believe places fill up fast.

Nice menu and good food. The staff was also very nice. We wanted "real" Irish cuisine and Hatters delivered. It was a Friday night so it got relatively crowded, but they fit us in without a reservation.
