"Love the atmosphere of this place. This was our first time and so the idea that you finish cooking your steak to your idea of perfection on a hot stone was awesome! The choice on the menu was wonderful and we all wanted to come back before we are it looked so good. The concept is that the steaks are just sealed in the kitchen and served to you on hot stones. They all come served rare with a salt a butter and a sauce. You take the stakes of the stone immediately so they don't burn, and then you cut a piece put your butter salt and sauce if you want on the stone, then put your piece of steak on the stone to finish cooking it and seasoning it like you want. I like my steak very rare so the way it came out with was perfect and it didn't need my cooking. However because of how quickly they see the steak in the kitchen, it does need seasoning so whether you use the salt straight on your steak or on the stone, you do need to use it. Our waitress was wonderful, and suggested that even though a few of us didn't want butter salt or sauce that we should get it. She was right. She also recommended that one of our party didn't have the sliced steak, even though it is still tasty, it's not a good representation of the restaurant for our first visit. The side orders were pretty good. The fries, sweet potato fries, jacket potato, onion rings and garlic mushrooms were all great. The huge disappointment were the seasonal vegetables. They tasted precut and microwaved, and if they weren't microwaved they were old before they were boiled. You can see in the picture each piece of vegetable was very small and for the price that was a serious disappointment.  The waitress was again wonderful with our drinks, with no cocktail menu she went behind the bar and made a long island iced tea herself which was delicious. Even the bill wasn't that bad when it came however, the £1 cover charge each was pretty irksome. Overall the service and the food was great and we will definitely be back to the chain."

"I absolutely love the fact that they serve breakfast all day! I honestly wish more places would do this. I always eat breakfast at different times. Sometimes you feel like eggs or porridge in the afternoon. Good on them! It was quiet on a Tuesday late afternoon early evening. Very hot day. As per most branches, wooden country cottage feel interior. For me, LPQ have always been hit and miss with any branch you visit, be it food quality, service or cleanliness. Branch was clean. Staff were really pleasant and friendly and service was fast (I am guessing this was because they were quiet). Good menu from all day breakfast to tartines, salads, breads, soups, juices, pastries, desserts and more. Vegan's are well catered for. I had the scrambled eggs on toast with roasted portobello mushrooms and a fresh orange juice. The breakfast came with two big slices of toasted bread and a side of butter. The portion size was big which justifies the price. Not cheap at all! Well presented and freshly made. Yes, I could have made this at home. Nothing out of the ordinary but nice. As I said staff were nice and happy for me to use the free wifi and do some work at the same time. I don't often frequent this branch but came by a few months ago as well when were in lockdown C-19 pandemic and got the spinach and pine nut swirl take away which was also good. Filling and tasty and not greasy. They even threw in free chocolates as it was near Easter. Let's be honest, LPQ do well on plain and simple home comforts. Nothing out of the ordinary. Branches have a nice atmosphere and staff are pleasant most of the time. Food and cleanliness are hit and miss."
