The booking arrangements, including follow up on menus and preferences was very slick and when we arrived, we had a wonderful private room.
The meal was absolutely delicious and the steak was cooked and seasoned to perfection, some of the best our group had tasted.
We were quite a noisy group and the staff were incredibly patient and good natured, even offering a speaker for us to play music.
Couldn’t have asked for more from everyone involved - this was part of a stag that I’d organised for my brother, who’s one request was great steak and wine, Porterhouse totally delivered.
