Coal Shed

Met my best friend for a late meal 9pm. The food was gorgeous cooked to perfection. We both had steaks. The waiter was lovely and friendly. My friend had injuries on his arm due to a difficult time and he was asked about it on two separate occasions . Although it was meant kindly it was awkward and I could see him squirm as we both knew how the injury had taken place but he felt he had to cover this up. The food was lovely and service friendly, the waiter was charming but just take care with asking questions about injuries. We enjoyed the meal and thank you.

What's not to like. The atmosphere was great as was the service. Very friendly staff. Starters were v tasty and the mains didn't disappoint. Sta d outs were the pork belly and the beef fillet. Will definitely visit again

Gorgeous smokey meat in proper portions, you pay for what you get and its totally worth it. 10/10 will visit again when im back down south

Lovely place good service some sort of donut thing was very bland.belly pork starter was phenomenal Had the fillet Was supposed to med rare was. More med to well. £35 just for steak most extras like chips carrots and 5 peas £6.00 each very expensive evening for 3 over £300

I had the lamb which was cooked perfectly. The chips were cold with no heat at all and this was the same for all of us. The chips may have been lovely hot, but cold they certainly weren 't. Perhaps we should have sent them back but there were six of us and I don 't think we could have stood the wait of six meals being brought up to temperature. The broccoli was also cold (but this isn 't such a problem for broccoli). The peppers were good, the sauce indifferent. Dessert was a brownie with an intenesely tart passionfruit coulis. In itself it was fine, but to my taste didn 't go with the brownie at all and actively fought against it. On top of this was a mousse whose flavour I 'd call 'sweet ' (I think it was supposed to be chocolate). On top of this were some pieces of honeycomb which didn 't add (or take away) anything. A dessert which while not actively unpleasant, I 'd never want to eat again. I 've been in chain restaurants like Cote or Cafe Rouge where they make a rich, satisfying choclate fondant I 'd much, much rather have a competent dessert than one which tries too hard and fails. I didn 't have a starter as I usually struggle with three courses and sides. I had the main, shared two sides and had a dessert and, when I left, was still hungry. For £40 plus wine this was an expensive disappointment. Six diners, four not happy with the meal, and haven 't discussed it with the other two.
