Recent testimonials from our Friday Night guests:
"The food was incredible, as was the service and atmosphere, it was definitely a night to remember. We went home very happy and full, and have recommended to all our family and friends..."
"Excellent, best lamb I ever had...value for money, the no corkage is a very good idea. We enjoyed the evening very much, it was a good balance of fun and education. I liked the tractor ride, I liked the information about the menu, where everything was sourced. The shared tables breaks down the formality of the atmosphere and make it a lot more fun.
A lot of thought has gone into making RC different to a restaurant. Those involved should be rather proud of themselves."
