"A wonderful dining experience. A party of 12 of us had a separate small room upstairs. We were there for a Sunday lunch and I think all of us had a traditional roast some had beef, some had pork. I had the beef and it was very nice (as long as you don't mind the meat very rare! (I did notice that the portions, particularly of roast potatoes, was inconsistent around the table but I did not test to see if they would have brought more on request . I started with the fishcake which was lovely but others around the table had other options which all looked delicious. My neighbour particularly enjoyed the soup. For dessert I had the lemon tart with blackcurrant sorbet which was a beautiful combination I particularly liked the crunchy caramelised topping on the tart. The two young ladies who served us were both great. Polite, pleasant and efficient. Nothing was too much bother and the orders taken and delivered (without a too long wait accurately. Although quite a tight squeeze (I wouldn't want more than 12 in that room , it was a comfortable and well decorated room which added to the overall experience at Gilbey's. Don't go for a separate room, though, if any of your party are not good with stairs! Well done, Gilbey's, I bet we'll be back!"
