The Kings Head Ivinghoe

➤ Station Road, Aylesbury Vale, United Kingdom

French • British • European • Vegetarian

"I have dined at the King's Head for over 40 years on many special occasions. And oftentimes, just because I want to enjoy a decent meal out in a restaurant that delivers exceptional food so hard to find outside London. The Aylesbury Duck for two...is a must but should be requested when booking to avoid disappointment. Georges de Maison and his team do an outstanding job and have adapted the restaurant and menu to accommodate changing times and tastes. The King's Head is about quintessential fine dining, and my only surprise is that not all guests dress for the occasion these days. This is a pity as turning up in jeans and a t-shirt at such a wonderful venue would only make one feel out of place! If you have not visited, I would recommend the King's Head restaurant most highly."

"Booked this place for 8 people to celebrate a Graduation. Off to a bad start, no-one greeting guests at arrival and was left standing for at least 5 minutes before a waitress who seemed to have an attitude finally showed us to our table. Service was ok to start with taking drinks and main meal orders reasonably promptly. However when the drinks arrive there was an extra drink that no-one had ordered. The main courses then arrived in dribs and drabs with at least 10minutes(possibly longer) between the first dish arriving and the last one, by which time the fist dishes had cooled noticeably. Food was ok but nothing special. Make sure you check the menu and prices before you go as the costs can quickly escalate. Also we had one guest who likes to enjoy their food and takes their time eating it. This didn 't stop the staff clearing the rest of the table leave this one individual still eating, felt completely inappropriate and a clear sign to get a move on. Ordered desert which again was ok but nothing special. Then the fun of trying to get the bill and pay for it. Our original waitress seemed to have disappeared and finally managed to attract a member of staffs attention from the opposite side of the room. Asked for the bill and eventually someone came over with the bill then walked away. I assumed that they were away getting the payment reader but no. Had to finally flag down the Manager and asked to pay. He did return with the card reader at least. Spoke to the Manager on the way out and expressed our huge disappointment and clearly stated that this would be our FIRST AND LAST TIME . He offered an apology but by that time just wanted to get out of the place. No I would not recommend this place!"

Ferry Boat Inn

Pubs • Steak • Seafood • Pub, Gastropub

"We visited for drinks and again for lunch the following day. This pub is in a lovely location and overall the staff were friendly. Good food beer selection. But the tables were dirty, rubbish left on the side was walked past several times by the serving staff. We sat at the same table and the same food residues from the night before were still on the table. My husband asked for a cloth and instead of wiping the table for him they handed it to him! We ordered the fish chowder which was nice but a small portion. The problem is that it is very off putting eating in a place where the staff don’t think it is their job to maintain standards of hygiene. We have been here before and appreciate that it was a busy w/e. But please improve staff training as they are letting the kitchen down"

Kimberley Inn

➤ 94 Findhorn, Moray, United Kingdom

Food • Steak • Coffee • Seafood

"The entrance to the Kimberley Inn is hidden off the front but the welcome was warm. With a good selection of beers, lagers and ciders on draught there was plenty to choose from. The menu also had a good selection of starters including soups, haggis and pate but we close just to have a main course. The chicken burger was a lovely tasty butterflied breast of chicken in a thin batter with barbecue sauce served with chips and coleslaw. My husband had fish and chips which looked great a large fish in thin crispy batter. It’s about £17 each for main courses but we had no complaints as they were hot and tasty and the service was quick and friendly."

River Exe Cafe

➤ For Ferry, Exmouth, United Kingdom

Wine • Cakes • Coffee • Seafood

"With an all-in cost of £75 per person (including water taxi and tip), we expected to feel like we couldn’t wait to return. Instead, we left thinking it was a night to forget; maybe it was an off night for the cook or perhaps they were just having a bad day. Perhaps it’s the end of the season and some have lost interest? Let me start with the positives: the location is excellent. A beautiful autumn sunset and calm waters made for a lovely arrival. The service was decent, and there’s no complaint on that front. However, the meal itself was extremely average. We’re not food snobs, but we could have prepared a better dinner ourselves at home. The crispy squid was anything but crispy, and the scallops, priced at £5 each, lost their delicate flavor. As for the plaice, it was hardly legal catch size and may have even fallen under the limit. There was barely any meat on each fish, and we struggled to peel it from the bone. Moreover, the plate was overloaded with unnecessary garnish, which only added to the disappointment. The preparation and presentation felt amateurish and mediocre, as if the dishes were hurriedly thrown together. We would have been better off at Rockfish or Neil’s in Sidmouth, which would have cost much less and provided far better quality fish. We're genuinely sorry to say that our experience at River Exe Restaurant was not enjoyable. We’re not the type to complain for the sake of it, but had we been dining alone and not with friends, we might have even sent our main course back. We can only hope this was an off night for them and that better experiences await others. However, we certainly won’t be rushing back, even if someone else is footing the bill."

Mr Cooper's House & Garden

Pub • British • European • Cocktail

"The space itself is beautiful, featuring large old windows that are very attractive, and the indoor garden decor—complete with small trees and a table with an umbrella—is delightful. The service was attentive and quick. My friend had the duck starter, which was absolutely excellent—one of the most delicious things I've tasted. I really enjoyed my smoked salmon dish and dessert, especially the extremely tasty filo pastry in which it was served. I don’t know how such a thin pastry could be so flavorful, although it might be attributed to butter. I was a bit disappointed by the main course options, which were either ox cheek or white fish, along with what appeared to be a vegetarian option of tortilla wraps (the menu didn’t specify what was in them). I felt like the available choices swung between extremely light (the fish) and very rich (the ox dish). However, the ox cheek was not overwhelming and was indeed very good. I made the mistake of treating the fish dishes as separate components when I initially served them, but I realized that they would have been much more flavorful combined. I’ll keep that in mind for next time! I didn't absolutely love my dish, as I'm not typically a fan of things that come with buzzing (aside from fried food, of course—bring on the fried!), but it was still decent. The desserts were nicely done; they didn’t wow me, but I appreciated the use of rose water in the cream broth. Some desserts on the à la carte menu looked incredible. Overall, a great place among many restaurants!"

Chapman's

➤ 89-90 St. Dunstans Street, Canterbury I-CT2 8AD, United Kingdom

Sushi • Seafood • British • European

"Charming restaurant with a surprisingly low turnout for a Friday night. The menu primarily features seafood, but there are vegetarian options available, like the Haloumi starter and vegetable Wellington main course. My group of seven were all satisfied with their meals, and the staff were exceptionally friendly. I recommend this place if you enjoy fish. Service: Dine-in Meal type: Dinner"

Custom House Poole Bistro

"the staff was very polite, friendly and helpful. the entrance to the building is incredibly spacious, modern and light, while the museum offers them a good view into the environment and the local community. the caffe has a good selection of cakes and a beautiful coffee and a beautiful view of the quay. in the summer months it is a great place to sit outside and cozy inside during the winter months. entering the museum is free, but donations are welcome. the load is bright and airy, and the staff gave a friendly greeting when I arrived. it is very well stocked and great for tourist who want to take a memento of poole. I think it's a great place to visit for all age groups."

"We headed up to Portrush and booked into the Atlantic Hotel. The check in time was 4 pm and although we arrived a little earlier our room was ready. The receptionist was friendly and gave us information about dinner etc but we didn't eat at the hotel in the evening. The hotel was busy. Plenty of families and European and American visitors in Portrush on that weekend. We headed to the Harbour bar for a pint if the best Guinness in the North of Ireland. It was buzzing.. the surf school was out .. the sailing club was out and people were just everywhere enjoying a wee drink and talking. It was just brilliant. There is a fantastic complex of restaurants at the Harbout complex. Something for everyone.. and they don't take bookings its first come first served.. there can be a wait but they don't waste any time and we enjoyed our wSit of 30 mins in the Gin bar of the Harbour bar . There was a young guy playing music and everyone was in such a good relaxing mood. We went up to the kiwi bar on the Main Street for a walk after our food which was amazing. First time in a long time I have had such a good sirloin steak , well priced and cooked to perfection. We returned to the Gin bar later as there was music to late and again we were not disappointed. We had a great notes sleep at the Atlantic and a really good hearty breakfast menu in the morning. Plenty of fruit and cereal.. cooked breakfast was plentiful and warm and the staff were efficient and friendly and cleared the tables and left you plenty of space on the table to eat as much as you wanted. Some people took a yogurt or a croissant for later and this didn't seem any issue. We had a lovely night away.. and headed on round to see the Dark Hedges from Game of Thrones and came home along the coast road. A most relaxing night away and we would definitely do it again and stay longer next time. Good value for money break"

Mojo The FoodBar

French • Seafood • British • Fast Food

"I went there for my birthday and was absolutely knocked away by this restaurant. If you love steak you will love the sharing 32oz trio of steaks with all the trimmings. The food was the best that I have had in Newport and well worth the visit. If your a gin fan then it's a must. They have an uncountable number of different gins that can be made to your liking."

River Terrace Cafe

➤ 1-2 Bridge St, St Ives, England, PE27 5UW, United Kingdom

Cafe • Vegan • Western • British

"This charming café offers a variety of vegan options that I have sampled, including avocado on sourdough toast and tofu on sourdough toast. Both dishes were delicious and perfectly seasoned. The coffee and teas are also exceptional, and they offer non-dairy milk options. It is a lovely spot to enjoy a sunny day on the terrace or cozy up indoors. Dogs are allowed in the small outdoor seating area at the front, although it appears that only drinks are permitted for them."

Greenz

➤ United Kingdom, London

Fish • French • Coffee • British

"Went in for the Mother's Day Special Lunch, and was overall quite impressed. I could tell they were trying very hard to pull off a luxurious feel serving oscietra caviar, black truffles, and foie gras all in one meal, and they were all great, but at the same time I felt as if they might be lacking a bit of creativity by playing it too safe. The presentation and handling of all ingredients were text book perfect, but it was expected considering the quality of ingredients they're using. Would've appreciated a little kick of unexpected pleasant surprises, but combined with the professional service of staff and exceptional pairing suggestions from the somelier, it was overall a very pleasant dining experience. Also appreciated the cute complimentary birthday dessert for Dad and the take home chocolate. It was my first time here but other family members have been several times, and have all said their previous visits were much more impressive, so maybe I'll have to check it out again next time."

Rabia's

➤ 73 Salem St, South Holland, United Kingdom

Soup • Fish • Pasta • Salads

"This is a very mixed review. The food at Rabia 's is excellent and we 've dined there before. But we will never go again. The payment and leaving processes at the end of the evening was ugly and unacceptable. It turned what had been a lovely dining experience into a poor one, one that I will long remember, but not at all in a good way. First, I noticed a significant difference between the itemized bill they gave us at the end of the meal and the credit card voucher that they process. There was no explanation, but when I asked (after waiting several minutes to get the server to come over, even though there were few customers at the time), I was told it was a 4% 'credit card fee. ' I 've never had this at another restaurant and it was not stated either on their website or even on the credit card voucher. Second, and even more costly, when we got to our car at the Haymarket (Parcel 7) Garage, they said our parking slip was NOT validated, even though staff of Rabia 's had told us twice that it was. I tried to call the restaurant that we 'd only left 10 minutes before and just got put into their voicemail. Again, they were not at all crowded. When I talked to the manager the next day, she denied any responsibility for anything. Her attitude was an immediate 'not my problem, ' to everything we discussed. Too bad. A restaurant with such an unwelcoming attitude will not last long."

"My wedding reception was held at Benedict's in September 2023 and I am truly overwhelmed by the exceptional service and attention to detail provided by the team. From the moment I walked through the door, I knew this was where I wanted to have my wedding. The customer service was outstanding, the food was delicious, and every staff member went above and beyond to ensure our special day was perfect. I highly recommend Benedict's for any event - from start to finish, it was absolutely perfect. Jenni."

Sea Breezes

➤ 2 Marine Buildings, IV51 9DE, Isle of Skye Highland, United Kingdom

Fish • Meat • Soup • Steak

"The food was really nice. Completely recommendable. But the costumer service needs to be better. We’ve been hosted by a guy with grey hair that has all the will to not serve us. First he says that was full, can happen, and has not less than 30 minutes to have a free table, thing that wasn’t true because a table was already charged and leaving. After that, he told us that has no waiting list and we can’t wait inside because has no waiting area. Outside was raining and I was w my two grandparents. 3 minutes after that table left and if we didn’t insist to stay inside, we would be waiting outside. After that, a tall lady serve us, that was warm and kind. I would come back, but definitely dodge that guy"

➤ 21, Ballintoy, United Kingdom

Irish • Seafood • European • Takeaway

"My wife and I are from the US and we visited Ireland back in September 2024, and this was a pleasant lunch stop for us between visiting tourist attractions in the area. There aren't a lot of restaurant options in this area, but this place doesn't use that as an excuse to be mediocre. Despite not having much competition from other restaurants, this cozy establishment has friendly staff that serve delicious food at reasonable prices. My wife and I both ordered seafood chowder with buttered beer bread on the side, and we split a sticky toffee pudding for dessert. I would strongly recommend this place to everyone!"

The Garden Cafe

➤ 5 Lambeth Palace Rd, SE1 7LB, United Kingdom

Cafe • Soup • Cafés • Coffee

"This is a lovely setting. I visited on Friday 29th April for lunch. I paid over £30 with the service charge . For this I had one green side salad, one portion of minestrone soup (not served with bread), one small pot of mint tea made with a small number of mint leaves and a cappuccino. Since the minestrone was a main course , £16 I think, I expected it to be be particularly hearty. It was a thin vegetable soup, with some pearl barley and a few vegetables in it. It was pleasant and delicate, but someone is having a laugh here in calling it a main course. The customers were a quiet and civilised bunch, nice people on a special day out and I did not have the heart to complain and spoil their day, as everyone would have heard my comments, due to the acoustics. I think that whoever is running this is showing a contempt for their customers by charging such outrageous prices. This cafe does serve coffee and cake and I think that must be the best way to experience it, although it would be wise to check the price before ordering. I believe one is legally entitled to offer the restaurant a fair price for a meal, and personally I think that half what I paid would have been more than sufficient at usual prices."

Bear Inn

Pubs • Full • Steak • British

"Arrived on a Saturday night for a table of four. The restaurant was being used by a cricket club event so were seated in the bar which was fine. The menu was fairly limited sons didn’t like anything on the starter menu and not many choices for main. We waited an age for the starters to arrive which was acknowledged by the waitress (we hadn’t complained about the wait) who had said they were coming soon but the kitchen was busy due to the restaurant capacity. Again waited a very long time for the main course. The food was just ‘okay’, nothing amazing. Husbands beer was rather flat. Had to return a glass of wine which had someone else’s lipstick on it. The bill had a service charge added to it which in general, I would rather make a choice of if to tip/how much. Wasn’t going to make a fuss about that as sons would have been embarrassed. Service was polite enough, nothing stand out. Sadly, wouldn’t return on this experience."
