The restaurant and bar is described as a warm and inviting place in which to visit for a relaxing light lunch or a full-on delicious dinner. , formerly The Whittington pub, is able to combine traditional features such as the building's existing timber panelling and beams with a modern contemporary design. Among the new features is a wood-fired oven which takes pride of place within the premises alongside the new-look main bar. Seating within the restaurant and bar ranges from high stools in the bar area and formal dining chairs in the restaurant to cosy nooks and crannies close to the warm and inviting fireplace, particularly on a cold winter's day or night.
