After all the recommendations, I found this a bit disappointing. I'd been in for a drink before in the evening and the place had quite a buzz. For lunch, though, it seems dark and dingy. Anyway, the upshot is ill give the pace a second chance at some point. I can only think they had some staffing issues over the Easter holidays, as food was generally slow to arrive. Other tables were heard to complain. Our main courses eventually came and were cold, or at least the accompaniments for the venison were stone cold. Otherwise, while tasty enough, I wouldn't have said the food was particularly different or startling, despite various rave reviews. Maybe I'm missing something, but I've had far nicer elsewhere, at better prices too. Not particularly feeling the love.
