A late-night seduction of coffee and Tequila. Smooth, slightly bitter, slightly sweet and tastes like the best Espresso Martini you’ve never had.

We had an amazing time here yesterday for bottomless brunch! The charcuterie board was very tasty as was the wine! They were large glasses of wine too! The staff were amazing considering it was a hot day and it was very busy! Larren in particular was a great waitress! 🤩

The service was impeccable. Made great only by Alice. The attention to detail was superb and if I ever decide to come back out, this is the first place I will stop. Side note - The peach snhapp was indeed delicious.

Had the most amazing hen do here – honestly couldn’t have picked a better place to celebrate! From the moment we arrived, the atmosphere was lively, fun, and perfect for a special occasion. The staff were absolutely fantastic – so friendly, attentive, and really went out of their way to make the bride feel special.

JESSICA TRIP ADVISOR REVIEW

We visited here a few years ago and so as we were in Nottingham we popped back in. So glad we did. We were greeted straight away by a polite member of staff who showed us to a table. We ordered a cocktail each and the charcuterie board. The bill was just over £30 which we thought was really good value.

Incredible cocktails in a great setting!! Irish wolfhound was a particular favourite. Attentive and friendly without being over bearing. Alice was particularly great, helped us out with any questions regarding the cocktail ingredient etc and service with a smile. We will definitely visit again….maybe tomorrow 🙂
