The Tippling Philosopher

Booked last minute for Valentines special, 2 steaks and bottle of wine. The wife had Fillet Steak, I had sirloin. Both cooked to perfection. Chips, mushrooms, salad ect were all great. Nothing to complain about. Amazing food. Great service. Great price. Will definitely be back.
