About

David Bann pairs creative vegetarian cooking with a substantial vegan selection, including smoked tofu, aubergine koftas and a vegan dessert assiette to share. The polished maroon dining room feels comfortable rather than formal; set menus and attentive service suit a celebratory dinner, though mains around £20 make it a pricier choice.
