Upstairs at Stokehouse is lovely. The food was very good to excellent. We really enjoyed the wines we had from their list. Better than expected.

My only criticism was the pace of the waiting service. I understand the two hour window so you can get two dinner services in, but we really felt pushed and slightly harried to order both food and wine. We'd barely been seated, and were clearly in the middle of exchanging gifts when we were asked, twice, if we were ready to order. We hadn't even opened the wine menu at that point. However later on, when waiting to order dessert and get the bill, we had to wait a long time.

Wouldn't put us off going again though! The staff were charming and we had a delicious meal. Thoroughly recommended.
