"Nipped in for a quick bite on a Friday evening. We went up to what looked like the restaurant bar and asked if it was possible to get a table but were directed to the main bar to ask about this. The place was packed- getting served at the internal bar would have been a bit of a fight. Had a similar experience on a visit here before because there's not much space around the bar so you tend to get an impenetrable crowd instead of any sort of line. Eventually managed to get the attention of a member of staff and were told the restaurant was fully booked, however we could sit outside and order food at the bar to our outside table. Would have saved us some time if that was communicated through the team and relayed by the first person we asked instead of sending us to queue elsewhere. We did order to an outside table, and the food was excellent. The small pizzas really are quite small. But if you have a couple of sides they're perfect to not overstuff you. If you want to just eat pizza probably get a large. Also they had really interesting topping selections on the pizzas- I had the spiced aubergine, creme fraiche and honey. It was absolutely delicious. The chips were hot and well seasoned, the greek salad also really nice- I did miss the addition of peppers and would possibly remove the pea shoots and sub in the peppers to improve this and keep it more authentic though. Drinks were nice and the atmosphere inside was quite cosy and outside had a nice vibe with the tasteful lightning and wooden furniture. Would definitely return (but probably make a reservation. It's busy for a reason!"

"We visited this restaurant for the first Sunday dinner prepared by the new chef, and we were not disappointed. To start, I had the homemade soup and potato soup served with a thick slice of delicious brown bread and butter (which was surprisingly enjoyable even though I don't usually like brown bread). The soup was perfectly seasoned and I savored every last spoonful. For the main course, I had the Roast Beef dinner with Yorkshire pudding, roasted potatoes, carrots, broccoli, cauliflower, and red cabbage. The gravy was delicious and served in a small jug so we could add as much or as little as we liked. Despite feeling quite full, we asked to delay dessert for a few minutes and the staff were very accommodating. When dessert arrived, I had the homemade fruit crumble which was delightful. I will definitely be returning to this restaurant and highly recommend it to others. The attentive waiting staff did a fantastic job and managed the busy restaurant with ease. Well done!"

"We decided to stop by for a meal with family during our walk today. It was our first visit, but we had heard great things about the place. We ordered food and drinks for our family of four, and it was absolutely delicious—everyone finished their meals! It was also very affordable, totaling just over £20. I would definitely recommend this restaurant and plan to return when we’re in the area. Thank you!"

"visited the apiary for dinner with a friend, loved the atmosphere here, many small interconnected rooms that felt both intimate and cozy. all the spits tasted fresh and absolutely delicious we both had burger and they were stunning! (also recommend the waffeln!) really loved the drink menu here we were not drinking, so it was great (and unusual to choose a real selection of tea, coffee, chi drinks and other non-alcoholic drinks. the tees were fantastic, we actually had 6 different aromes between us and they were all tasty personally recommend the blue chai! great service, beautiful atmosphere and good prices."

"The owner, whom I assume is in charge, was quite rude and his shouting was disturbing enough for us to notice from our table. From his perspective, he had a larger party waiting to be seated, but he was at fault for allowing the table of four to eat without clearly indicating a time limit. It seemed to me that his desire for profit led him to try and squeeze in another group. Although I wasn't directly involved in the confrontation, it definitely affected our experience that evening. While the food was as good as always, in the future, I will be more mindful of how busy the restaurant is when I make a reservation, likely avoiding weekends when the noise level is particularly high. It’s clear that the owner's temperament, which is usually warm but a bit overbearing, does not handle busy periods and pressure well."
