Compared to what?!

Looks very good value from the menu.

I am however suspicious of anywhere that tries to cover too many bases; it usually means lots of average fare and nothing particularly good, but will reserve judgement until i've tried it.

This is unfair. I have now tried this place and we spent ?16.50 per head on one course and 250ml of wine (including tip). However I'm afraid that is pretty much the end of the good news. The food was unremarkable, the room rather sad and the service was a bit rough around the edges (although it is obviously early days). So possibly fair value if you are on a tight budget, but otherwise nothing to see here.

I think they need to sort out the kerb appeal of the place - the way it is currently set up you can't really see in from the outside very well so it can often seem empty when there are in fact people sitting in the back. Look forward to giving it a try though.
