This place is completely overrated, overpriced and pretentious. We went there for Sunday brunch and it was fraught with frustration from the moment we sat down. I wanted scrambled eggs and bacon, so chose the 'scrambled eggs with cream fraiche' - but they refused to supply a side order of bacon with it. Moreover, when the dish arrived there was no toast or anything - merely just a plate of eggs and that's it, for 11 quid!
My husband ordered the full English breakfast, but asked for the eggs scrambled instead of fried - again this was not possible. I would have thought that was a basic and common request. And when the dish came, the eggs were in fact poached, not fried! He hates poached eggs.
My mother ordered the smoked salmon on savoury pancakes - and was told that "that dish may take a long time" - god knows why!
I found the staff to be extremely unhelpful, rude and pretentious, and obviously the chefs are either totally unreasonable or incapable of cooking the simplest things - probably both. We will not be returning.

Great food, you can't fault it. The sausage rolls are stunning - I am told that they are made for them by a local organic butcher.
