T&Cs include main and dessert per person (adult & kids), one bottle of house wine or cocktail each for the adults, and soft drinks for the kids. <We enjoyed an excellent modern British menu in the warm and  welcoming restaurant and bar, located next to the ITV Studios where I’ve worked over the years. Being there also brought back  memories from my uni days where my weekends and holidays were spent as a runner and trainee researcher at the BBC who used to be based there. With seasonal, ‘traditional with a twist’ cuisine on offer with classic roasts and fish and chips opted for here, and the @thekidstableuk upstairs entertaining kids aged 3+, made for a truly relaxing long lunch.
