"the hop vine is one of my favorite places to eat in the opposite and has not dined here for a past. we had the steak ale pie, hunters chicken and for the desert apple pie cheesecake. Why, if one of my favorite places to dine, I give 4 stars....simple... the hope vine has set high standards with our earlier visits and this visit was very good, but not as good as before (now we have shared here haare) as it was very good. I think it was because we enjoyed our desert more than the main course. the personal here is very good and I mean very good and friendly some of the best in the opposite. a wonderful selection of real ales. I wish I could set the star rating to 4.5, but can only set 4 and not fair to set 5 if I know and have experienced the hop vine in his best before. if I were to come back, I would definitely recommend everyone. one of the best pub restaurants in the environment."

"We decided to enjoy a leisurely late lunch and came across this place online. The staff graciously gave us a table by the window, making for an enjoyable experience. They offer three small plates per person from three different menus priced at £10.50, £12.50, and £13.50. We opted for the £12.50 menu, which featured a variety of Italian-themed dishes. When the food arrived, it was piping hot and expertly prepared. The flavors and overall quality were impressive, especially the calamari, which was lightly coated in tempura batter and served with a garlic mayo dip. There was so much food that I initially declined dessert. However, upon closer inspection of the dessert menu, I discovered a delightful trio of small desserts on one plate, paired perfectly with a rich cappuccino. Our total bill, which included two desserts, a large glass of white wine, and two pints of Peroni, came to around £60 including the tip. There was plenty of parking available in the rear lot, and the restaurant itself was clean, tidy, and well-maintained. The staff was attentive, even though it was mid-afternoon and had quieted down significantly since lunch. Overall, it was a lovely experience."

"This was our first visit and after looking at the positive reviews we thought we would give it a try. We had an early evening reservation which gave access to the 'happy hour ' menu pricing mains at £8.95 which supplements on certain choices. We had three different choices of Lasagne, Chicken Diane and Sea Bass followed by sticky toffee pudding. All the food was excellent, nicely presented with good portion size. The restaurant was very busy and while we were seated immediately, it was clear some larger parties were having to wait for tables to be cleared. Decoration inside the restaurant is contemporary and classy but the absence of any softer fabrics meant the restaurant was quite noisy. The restaurant also appeared to be geared towards larger parties and the configuration of tables meant that you may be seated quite close to other diners. Overall though, the experience was good, service polite and efficient with ample car parking on site."

"Before Christmas we visited il Mulino and had one the best meals we’ve had in years! After doing some research I realised il Mulino was not the new Fox, I thought they were the same place initially. Realising the Fox was still open we paid...a visit, we’ve not been since it was the previous names place (Fifteens or something like that). What struck me was the fact it was dog friendly so we paid a visit on a Saturday lunchtime. We sat right by a roaring fire all nice and cosy and were looked after by the most delightful team of people, I loved how the manager was visible at all times, greeting people and helping other teams members, this showed a genuine passion for the place. The food was absolutely delicious and we learned the same owners also owned il Mulino! We loved the music and the ambience of the place, we could have stayed all day! The team were just lovely with our dog and made him feel really welcome, we are always really nervous rocking up with a dog but he settled in really well and was given treats and water. Well done to the team and the owners, you will be hugely successful and I hope words gets out what a great place this is. Thank you for a lovely meal and see you soon."

"Having been here on numerous occasions, we decided to book for Mother’s Day. We paid a deposit and turned up as planned, only to find a set menu in service. We had no warning of this, and due to intolerances, the vast majority of main courses were unsuitable for one of us. Having raised these issues with the operations manager, she was very unsympathetic and made no effort to assist. Something as simple as speaking with the chef to figure a workaround is the least I expected; however, she simply advised that there was nothing she could do. From there, we had a 45 minute wait for food, parts of the order had been processed incorrectly and some foods simply weren’t as advertised. Upon raising such issues we were met with a similar response, besides one acknowledgement of the an incorrect order having been placed. Sadly, the lasting memory of our visit was the very unsympathetic and unapologetic nature of the manager, who did credit the drinks on our bill, yet did this via another member of staff with no formal acknowledgement or apology. On the whole, we were made to feel like a great inconvenience at should have otherwise been a lovely meal our with family. Needless to say, we won’t be returning."
