"The service was very poor. We arrived there really looking forward to a nice meal out but the service was appalling. We arrived there and got sat at a table that was dirty. The waiters passed by us many times without taking our order. My daughter had to get up and get them to come to us every time we needed something. The soup that I got was served cold and the waiter's fingers were in the bowl of my soup. It took 45 minutes for prawn crackers to arrive as well as our drinks. They got the food that we ordered wrong and there was a waiting time of 1 hour and 30 mins even though the restaurant was literally empty. Please do not go here. It was not an enjoyable meal. Our drinks were served but mainly filled with ice and no beverage at all."

"We visited this restaurant for a quick meal and drink. The menu offered a variety of tasty cakes and pastries at the counter. We ordered the Chicken, Cheddar, and Chilli Jam toastie, Avocado Halloumi Bagel, and a Mango Lassi. The food was delicious and the Lassi was particularly enjoyable. The service was a bit slow, likely due to the high demand, but the staff was apologetic and attentive. Outdoor seating was perfect for a nice day and for those of us who enjoy walking."

"I've written a full review on my SmarterFitter blog but here is an excerpt: the standout dish was by far the mushrooms served on celariac puree, topped with crispy kale and toasted pine nuts. The pudding was the most inventive and delicious execution of rhubarb I’ve ever had, made all the better with fennel-infused Turkish delight. I am particularly grateful to Andrew for our grand finale: a cocktail lesson featuring his own elderflower cordial...And if all that weren’t enough, The Elderflower has a dessert called “British and French Cheese Journey”. Unfortunately we had a long drive ahead of us and weren’t sure if a full stomach of cheese and wine was really wise for the road. And after all, better to leave wanting more. We’ll be back soon!"

"we found booked for a Tuesday night. the menu is a taste amplifier of 4, 6 or 8 curses. the 6 cursor was exceptional and everyone was unknown at the beginning. the coworkers explained every cure arrived at him, and they were very knowledgeable and helpful. a relaxed environment with a lot of time between every delightful cure. a wee pairing is offered, although we decided to wee through the glass. every cursor was a taste experience on itself. the small things like the beautiful plates and the presentation of the cutlery added to the quality of the setting. the overall experience was exceptional. david wykes and his team offer the best food we ever had in a fish restaurant. definitiw a five-star experience"

"badly started when the menus we were given no similarity to what published on their website as an example menu that traveled 200 miles to be there was what we posted our booking on! what we ordered and arrived...was also very bad in terms of the total proportions of sizes, quality of food and its presentation, which was obviously not the one of the right cooks. service was bad, we had to pour both our water and wine, no brot or bun at all, but especially with suppe and crabs. all small portions and genrally not enough food. we also saw other diners in the restaurant as impressing with their appetizers and meal after that we gave up and decided not to throw more good money after bad deserts and coffees, instead of driving to the local kfc to eat something. we noticed how disappointed we were with the owners on the way, but there were answers very well tried. will not have been coming back or going back there"
