"I once believed that this restaurant served the best roast in all of London, especially because of their Pork Belly dish. However, my recent visit was extremely disappointing. My partner and I were looking forward to returning, but our experience turned out to be awful. The main reason for this was the change in head chef, which was quite evident. The service was slow, with drinks taking 30 minutes to arrive and our starter being forgotten. The beloved pork belly dish was no longer on the menu, so we settled for beef. Unfortunately, the beef roast we received was thick, rare, and difficult to cut. The side dishes were also inconsistent and arrived late. To make matters worse, I found a hair in my food, prompting them to bring me a new plate with minimal portions. The service was lacking, with no one checking if we needed anything else and the staff appearing disinterested. They even brought the bill without itemizing it, expecting us to pay immediately. I had to correct them on the charges, as they had included the hair-infested roast and drinks. Overall, it was a terrible experience and I would not recommend this restaurant. There are better roast options at the same price point in nicer locations. When I asked about the change in head chef, it was confirmed, which explained a lot. It's a shame that the previous chef's pork belly roast, which was once the best in London, is no longer on the menu."

"We stopped here for lunch yesterday. I had the Tomato and Red Pepper Soup followed by the Smoked Salmon Sandwich both were incredible. I have never seen such thick cut smoked salmon and I was pleased to hear that it came from a nearby smoke house. My husband had the Crawl (ham and lamb stew) followed by the Chicken, Lettuce and Tomato Sandwich; again both were incredible. Our friend had the homemade beef burger which was succulent and beautifully cooked. The lady that served us, went out of her way to help and her customer service was 5 star. We will definitely visit again."

"Visited for lunch on a day trip to Cowes. Its hidden gem, one of the few restaurants you must visit while visiting IOW. This was our second visit, but definitely not the last. Full of character, great atmosphere, buzzing. They were really busy, and because we didn't book table beforehand, we waited around 10 min for them to get one ready for us, but it was worth it. The food was incredible as always, with plenty of options. The stuff was great, very attentive. We'll be back."

"Looking at other reviews it seems we were unlucky with our experience last week. It was the worst pub meal I have had in ages dried up pasta with minimal sauce. When we complained we were brough a container of sauce to add! Another of our party ordered a pork dish which arrived without the dauphinoise potatoes, which he was told they had run out of. He was offered chips which were brought just as he was finishing his meal! The mussels were presented without a bowl to put the shells in and no finger bowl. This never appeared even after it was requested. We were loudly asked if we wanted more drink with monotonous regularity throughout the evening. Truly an awful experience."

"Me and my hubby went to the cattle and cocktail for the first time tonight, and to say it was an amazing meal is a huge understatement. Not only was the steak cooked to perfection (perfectly pink), but the staff were absolutely fantastic. Welcoming, with friendly conversation and brilliant service. The decor was stunning, and the whole evening left us excited to return. Truly beautiful night. Thank you to the amazing service staff and chef. We will be back in a few weeks to celebrate our anniversary"

"What a fantastic discovery! It's located so close by, yet I had no idea it was there. The food was amazing and the portions were very generous. I really enjoyed my experience and I will definitely recommend it to others and bring my family next time."

"I wanted to celebrate a birthday. the host (can not remember their names unfortunately) was very courteous with the food restrictions for our group and worked with the cook to adapt our dishes to our preferences! great customer service. we tried the broken squid, the spinat gnocchi, the burger and small children had some mozzarella sticks. everything was delicious, but the burger was a bit simple and could be increased with a good soak or something with a kick. tried the orange crème brûlée for dessert and the definitiw to the place!"

"My absolute favourite place to eat, and chill. From the setting, the atmosphere to the cool friendly staff but of course the main star of the show being the fabulous food, I just love it here! Have eaten nearly everything on the menu and try something new each time we visit as they have seasonal changes. I’m always happy, always satisfied and feel good about supporting an indie business that strive to do everything sustainably. We’ve brought non-vegans for brunch and they were just as pleased with the food as we vegans are. The coffee is also insanely good, and we always get some sweet treats from the cabinet when paying as they are so tempting and give us that afternoon boost later in the day on our travels around Exeter."

"The café was bustling and had a lively atmosphere, albeit a bit noisy. I had to wait for my table even after my guests finished, which was about 10 minutes past our reservation time. The service was inconsistent; I had to ask for the bill twice. The food options were decent, but several items were unavailable because of the crowd. Overall, I was satisfied but not particularly excited, and I likely won't return."
"the ignorance of the food industry towards food allergies is frightening and the heart restaurant is an excellent example for this unpredictable ignorance. the restaurant was informed in advance about the heavy allergy of my daughter on seafood. they gave us a table next to the kitchen, because they ignore at the heart that an allergic reaction can be caused by breathing in steaming from the cooking of seafood or any food. they fry the chips in the same oil where they roast seafood and roast the meat at the same place where they fry the garnels. the alternative offered was a waiting period of 30 minutes, hoping that someone would go. they let us wait in a street where the other restaurants wore their müll and smoke the people. unnecessary to say that we have gone. when we add that the restaurant was aware that it was my 40th birthday and we were there to celebrate, the image of an absolute ignorance and inability becomes more complete. absolutely terrible experience. to avoid any event!"

"First night of a long weekend in Rode looking after a couple of chocolate Labradors, we were able to sit and eat without the dogs being a problem. Me and my life like real ale and they had a couple of choices from Butcombe brewery, the ale was kept and served well. The menu was great and they helped my wife who is dairy free and marked down all of the items on the menu that were, or could be made, dairy free, great service! When our food came it was lovely, well presented and tasted awesome. They are actually booked out most days so we were lucky to get in, we tried to book for Sunday lunch which they managed to squeeze us in, so we are looking forward to going back for this. Highly recommended but try to book your table in advance by a few days at least so that you’re not disappointed."

"A hidden gem in Southampton! I drove two hours to discover this fantastic restaurant. The service was exceptional; we were warmly welcomed upon arrival. We ordered some starters that were quite satisfying, followed by an incredible spaghetti allo scoglio. The fish was freshly sourced, and the pasta was cooked to perfection. The desserts were absolutely delicious as well. Surprisingly, the prices were even lower than those at some chain restaurants! I can’t wait to return soon for another taste of Italy."

"Situated on the Royal Mile, Angels with Bagpipes manages not to offer the usual tourist fare. The restaurant was low lit with twinkly lights and was full of glossy, polished surfaces adorned with discreet cushions. The room was about half full, which was about expected at this time of the evening. The a la carte menu was relatively short but packed full of variations on classics. I opted for the beef tartare followed by the pollock. My dining companion chose the goats cheese followed by the Ross-shire lamb. The starters arrived relatively quickly. The tartare looked pleasing to the eye. I had spotted that it was beef rather than steak tartare, possibly indicating an inferior cut of meat. If this was the case, I certainly couldn’t tell. If tartare is on the menu I do like to give it a try. The meat had an amazing freshness to it and the egg oozed perfectly. The proportion of the quail egg to the meat was just right. The capers were not chopped up finely but somehow this added extra zing and bite to the dish. My dining companion enjoyed the goats cheese with beetroot but commented that it would be difficult to go wrong with this combination. The mains appeared not long after. My pollock looked really appetising. The extra side of thin cut chips was a good call, with a balanced crunch –to-fluff ratio and just the right amount of salt dusting. The fish itself was cooked well and the skin was perfectly crispy. The veg alongside was adequate but nothing special. However, the star of the dish were the pickled mussels. Only a scattering of them appeared on the plate but seriously, I could have eaten a whole bowlful of those on their own. My dining companion had dithered a little over ordering the lamb as she is still a little worried about meat coming a little rarer than her liking. She was advised by staff upon ordering that it would come medium rare. I would say it was closer to the rare side than medium but my friend soldiered on. She enjoyed the dish but again, the meat was not the star. High praise was offered for the accompanying lentils. We were automatically given the menu for dessert without being asked if we actually wanted any. Perhaps it was just the look on my face that said I was in the mood for a dessert (which is the course I am most likely to forgo). I went for the parfait and my dining partner chose the cheesecake. My parfait was tonka bean with caramel swirls, scattered peanuts and a caramel dipped hazelnut. Along with that was a Granny Smith apple sorbet. Both parts were excellent. The parfait was firm but creamy and the caramel complemented it. The sorbet was sharp and packed a punch. However, they did not go together. So I ate them as if I was eating two separate desserts, one after the other. My dining companion was a little underwhelmed by the cheesecake. The pear seemed lost in the honey and didn’t appear to have anything that made it stand out. She felt that ‘it did what it said’ but it didn’t wow. So, overall we had a lovely time and the food was of a great standard. There were just a few bits here and there that took some of the shine off what could have been a truly astonishing meal."

"Went for my moms birthday, took a while to be seated, glasses were absolutely filthy, didn’t realise until our glasses for our water were brought out, then I looked at my glass that my drink was in and that was dirty too. The food was nice and we still had a good time our server was great and really helpful"

"This is the second time in 4 weeks that I have had Sunday roast here and both times were really really nice. On both occasions we were 4 kids and 4 adults. The staff were super accommodating and helpful. We had beef brisket and the kids had fish and chips. Nothing seemed to be too much for the waiter serving with us who went out of his way to make sure we had everything we needed. He even went off to find something for my fussy lad who wanted chocolate sauce rather than caramel which wasn't even on the menu! We shall be going again! Also to top it off they have a really gorgeous sunny beer garden with fabulous valley views."

"Cosy, upmarket local restaurant. Personally I didn’t dine there on this occasion, had a few drinks at the bar. I will definitely revisit and sample the food as from what I could see, it all looked delicious. 100% Recommended, next time I will be dining out"

"Went to this hotel to eat, not expecting much as the outside looks a little time-worn and could do with brightening up with hanging baskets. That is the reason for 4 stars rather than 5. Inside, the hotel is lit in a subdued manner which is oddly welcoming. We were greeted promptly and politely. The menu was pretty extensive but not massively expensive. The food was excellent and served by polite efficient staff. The wine was good too! The food and service was so good we went there twice whilst on a short break in Norfolk. The people, chef and waiters, make this place! Very well worth a visit!"

"We had a wonderful afternoon at the beer master class at the Walled City Brewery. Josh, the head brewer, guided us through 12,000 years of brewing history while showing us how he crafts an impressive variety of beers on-site. The beers were fantastic, and the atmosphere was lively and enjoyable. Additionally, it felt like great value for the money. We also learned about their exciting future plans, which include an expansion that will feature a taproom. Highly recommended!"

"This lively and cheerful bistro is situated right on the Derry city wall. The menu clearly highlights gluten-free (GF) options, and the servers are knowledgeable and eager to help. While they don’t offer GF bread, the fries are gluten-free. Although there aren’t any GF beers or ciders available, their cocktail menu is extensive—highly recommend the Mulberry Tom Collins on a warm evening! There’s a wide variety of choices for our diverse group, ranging from delicious vegetarian curry to stir-fries and sirloin, along with a good selection of gluten-free sides."
