"We dined at the pre-theater seating, which meant it was early in the evening, but the warm summer night allowed for the doors to be wide open, making the restaurant feel bright and airy. A few tables were occupied both inside and outside. The service was excellent and accommodating to our time constraints, yet we still managed to enjoy three courses. There was a large selection of vegetarian and fish dishes, and the desserts were simply divine. Everything was delicious and beautifully presented. However, there weren't many meat or vegan options available. The wine list was adequate; we tried a sparkling wine (Arras) that was a bit disappointing. Overall, we consider our experience excellent because all aspects were thoroughly checked and met our expectations."

"We had lunch at The Fig in Rye and had a thoroughly enjoyable experience. The lunch menu has good variety even though the menu is small. The pulled pork tacos were delicious as was the Goan prawn curry. We both enjoyed the warm banana cake dessert. The atmosphere was great and the staff helpful and attentive. Thank you!"

"Read some very good reviews about this restaurant... but were slightly disappointed. Bottle of wine was reasonably priced and good. Very extensive drinks menu compared to a rather limited food menu! Starter was too salty for me (tiger prawn and chorizo scotch egg) and my friend's venison carpaccio was too cooked and not what we would expect for a carpaccio. The steamed dumpling of Scottish lobster, scallops and cod was weirdly presented and was bland. Mains were better but my friend's side order never appeared before we finished our main course... I had the buckwheat crepe with smoked avocado ratatouille failed to find any avocado flavour and although it was nice, cannot comprehend why it was so pricey. Duck was nicely cooked and so was the pork belly. The whole meal was over 40 pounds per person... hopefully will be better next time we come!"

"Very disappointed over this. Lunch was okay but found plates to be cool which meant the food therefore cooled rapidly before finishing. Whilst this possibly should have mentioned before, being in the company of others, it was not appropriate, so it was decided to reduce...the level of the gratuity along with a quiet word at the end of the meal. However, when requesting the bill, it was noted the discretionary charge had automatically been added. On asking for this charge to be removed, as it was discretionary, I found myself being challenged, then reprimanded by the manager, leaving me feeling annoyed and embarrassed. The term ‘discretionary’ is defined as a ‘choice’ on behalf of an individual (in this case the customer) and should NOT be regarded as a mandatory payment. (If you want to increase revenue increase your prices Secondly NEVER challenge customers in this manner, it is distasteful and rude!"

"After a visit to the beautiful woodlands and gardens with my daughter, we stayed for lunch at the cafe. We didn't notice the sign to wait to be seated, and had to ask for a menu, but after that the service was friendly and attentive. I enjoyed a really tasty quiche, and my little girl had a picnic box that included a generous chunk of proper sausage roll and a piece of brownie as well as a sandwich with thick farmhouse ham and a satsuma. We asked for the stated mixed nuts to be replaced with salad and got cucumber not averse to nuts, but some veg by default would make the selection more balanced. We rounded out lunch with a cream scone which the staff were happy to bring over to the simple play area across the drive. Not a cheap lunch but not wildly expensive either, and the food was very good quality. A nice treat as part of a lovely day out."

"for the first time last week visited the dancing goat and had a great experience. we do not live near, but will definitely come back when we are close. we own our own coffee shop, but were gone for a few days and. I really missed a decent cup when coffee. we had a search on google and this place came with some good recommendations. we were not disappointed. the coffee was perfect, really beautiful and full-bodied. also banan bread with zimtbutter, which was amazing, like the croissants. really friendly service. they were only open for outlier because of everything that was going on at the moment, but this has not been from a whole round great experience. the business is located in a beautiful small community area, so standing outside the church in the sun, drinking a beautiful cup coffee and watching the world go by. perfect"

"This place has gone completely downhill. I've been a customer in here for years and I won't be back after the service I have received today. The waitresses were inattentive. We had to ask for cutlery after our food was served. We had to ask for drinks twice. When the bill came we had been overcharged. The waitress stood over us with the card machine impatiently, probably because she didn't want to give us time to check the bill. It was utter rudeness. I don't know if this place has changed hands, but it's definitely not the place it used to be."

"I was under the impression that vegan Thursdays would mean mostly vegan food on the menu that wasn’t really the case I think there were 4 options for mains with plenty more options for non vegans and no specials. I’m not even sure the menu was any different to any other day of the week. I had the butternut squash and bean filo parcels which were good, but nothing special. My partner had the chickpea burger, I had a try of it and it was so salty it was almost inedible. Other feedback was that the cauliflower vegan dish was also good and the cod cheek dish was bland. All expensive at around £18 per main. There were 1 or 2 vegan desserts. I think we enjoyed the desserts more than the mains. I would expect a much higher quality for the price and I don’t think this is a good example of how good vegan food can be. I felt a little bit responsible for taking the family there after reading the rave reviews on here. Something must have changed significantly at this restaurant since the previous reviews were written. It’s the only explanation I can think of. Updated from previous review on 2023 06 18"

"This restaurant is extremely popular on Instagram, but in reality, it did not live up to the hype. The food was delicious, however, my girlfriend and I couldn't help but feel envious of the dishes others were enjoying."

"Met friends for lunch on a Friday. Unfortunately the service really disappointed us. I think it's pretty hit and miss depending on who serves you. My beetroot and goat cheese salad was eventually lovely but had to complain as the beetroot was originally missing from the salad. If you compare it to similar places in the area I think the food is good however the customer service is less impressive."

"Great place but starting to look a bit tired. Toilets are an issue as limited and not particularly clean which is always a red flag! Try and get an attendant who is ideally not serving food, to check the loos every 15 mins and discourage patrons from allowing their dogs to sit on the seats. Service: Dine in Meal type: Brunch"

"gluten free risotto to be here! and they even have it tailored (which meant that they cook it fresh, it was 't stewing in a pot) which was great. I had the mushroom spinat pasta, which was delicious, and of course was nabeby the gf Risotto food! it was jumbo garnel and they were really. I liked the cordial fizz (raspberry flavored) not as sweet as a soft drink, but refreshing. the place was busy on a Saturday night, so it was a bit slow to get out, but it wasn't so long. in any case on that could list again."

"My wife and I went here yesterday. We thought it was a nice little cafe. Service was good and so was the food. My wife got a white hot chocolate which was quite unique because had white chocolate on a stick. It tasted pretty good. I got the homemade chai which was also quite different because it was milky and had a pot of honey on the side. I enjoyed it. For food my wife got poached eggs on breakfast muffins which she very tasty. Eggs were cooked were cooked spot on. However, my wife thought bacon was a little over cooked. I was greedy and got the banana bread with berries and mascarpone and I got the almond bostock special. I enjoyed both. Nice flavours and a bit different. The service was pretty good and the staff were friendly. We got a brownie and flapjack to take away. Brownie was nice and flapjack was ok. Overall everything was good but probably not warrant a 5 stars."

"I went for the vegan seasonal toast option. As always it is nice to have a colourful and healthy plate. However, I do feel as though the plate contained a lot of salad to make it look like more than what it was. I wasnt the biggest fan of the cold veg mixed in with the salad like the sprouts and cauliflower. On the other hand, the actual seasonal toast was tasty with the tofu on top aswell.

"Very underwhelming . We visited on a Sunday (mid morning) hoping for brunch, it soon transpired the kitchen wasn’t open and they were only serving pastries etc from the counter and the usual range of teas coffees. We ordered a couple of pastries (almond croissant and pecan bun) and a sausage roll. All were reasonably nice but clearly had not been made the same day. Coffee was good. The service was distinctly average, in fact the person who brought us our coffees was downright grumpy (didn’t bother to ask who’s drink was who’s, just plonked them down on the table). The feel of the place in contrast to a few years ago is grubby and needs cleaning and redecorating. Had the sense that it’s living off it’s reputation somewhat."

"Honestly so disappointing I wouldn’t bother. The visual appearance of the restaurant was really nice, we got greeted immediately and had a choice of where to sit since the restaurant was empty (first red flag). The waiter provided us with menus (we got advised there was no wine menu, just house wine), we waited for our drinks order to be taken for at least 20 minutes. Eventually we got our drinks, and another 15 20 mins later the waiter took our food order. Having clarified our order, the waiter even asked if we wanted everything to arrive together (which we did). I had to try and get the waiters attention to re order some more drinks (3 glasses of wine, which we waited for 20 mins to arrive, again). The waiter brought the wine all in his hands, as if carrying some pints for the lads. Eventually the food arrived after over an hour. Naturally the food didn’t come together our friend had her food arrive 15 20 mins after the rest. The truffle arancini was dry and bland (didn’t taste like truffle), my friend got the cod curry which came with dry, crunchy and stale rice (the rest of the food wasn’t nice either tbh). Essentially for the price I would not recommend. During our stay, two couples arrived and left shortly after (assume since they weren’t served for at least 15 20 mins) (despite restaurant being empty) (two tables including us occupied). We had to ask for the bill twice, because naturally they didn’t bring it the first time. Honestly don’t waste your time or money here, I doubt this place will be open for much longer."

"Ok so BRUNCH is just a thing that my friends and I love doing. We have tried various places in Central London along with Dubai, New York Los Angeles, Mauritius and other countries all around the world. This might sound seriously extreme for a review, but I can honestly say this place is the BEST brunch I've had in the world. That is not an exaggeration! The coffee is unbelievable, the Sweet Maria is INSANE! I just wished I lived closer and I would be there every day!! I've noticed a few other brunch spots such as MUD Cafe trying to coffee Milks concept with their Parmesan hash it no where near as good!!"

"Really original coffee place, with a great concept! The design is based around bicycles and there are random on-theme items hanging from the ceilings or placed on the tables everywhere. It doesn't feel like clutter though because the room is really big with lots of windows that really bring light in and open up the place. Their flat white is really great and I love the different soups they serve, especially the mushroom soup! Everything is really simple and really tasty and unpretentious. This is the perfect place to sit down with a good book or do some work. There are plugs everywhere to charge your laptop and they play non-distracting house music in the background."
