The longest 5 minutes
Sunday lunch ... only criticism has nothing to do with the restaurant but everything to do with bizarre licensing laws - not allowed to serve a glass of wine 'til 12.30 and we were nestled at our window table at 12.25. Luckily the view made up for the wait.
Lunch menu brief but surprisingly varied. Ham hough terrine and confit of pheasant to start were both full of strong flavours. Mains were similarly unusual (not seen pollock on a menu for a long time), all unpretentiously presented.
Service fast and friendly, good bread selection, unobtrusive background music and the Turner exhibition at close range. Lovely day out.
