"Hadn 't been to a Carluccio restaurant for a number of years, and I can 't say that I will be going to one again soon. The place was almost empty, which made it all the more surprising that it took so long for someone to come and take our order. I normally have a couple of glasses of wine at lunch, but the prices for a small glass were ridiculous so I stuck to a glass of beer. Ordered a mixed basket of bread to share, along with a main of a so called crispy chicken burger, with fries. (Not particularly Italian, I know, but there we are). The bread arrived, along with a waitress who announced, cryptically, that The message didn 't arrive in the kitchen, so your mains are ready now shall I bring them out? The response was a no, thank you, as they will get cold. Having finished the bread, we then waited for the main courses, which were presumably being re heated in the kitchen. Average only and served with luke warm shoestring chips cheapest sort of frozen ones. Also had an ice cream and called for the bill. The service throughout had been slapdash and cursory, and so I didn 't leave a tip, which brought forth a curled lip and scowl from the waiter. (Incidentally, the lavatories were out of order one disabled loo in a place this size is not acceptable)."

"Close to Covent Garden can be found The White Lion pub. Upstairs from the delightful pub is a treasure of a restaurant you might easily miss. The Pie Shop is a small, 9 tables mostly for 2, plus a small bar, in a room most might consider a reasonable sized front room, restaurant. Meals are prepared on the floor above and served via dumb waiter to the restaurant floor. To say the space available to this establishment is restricted is an understatement though customers would not think so given the excellent service and quality of fare offered. The staff are great, friendly, efficient and knowledgeable, never backward at giving their own recommendations off the menu. Speaking of the menu, speciality delicious pies are rotated by day on the menu, also offering, perhaps the best, Fish Chips I've tasted back in the UK. Feel free to disagree, but I've tasted a few in different countries and so no slouch, though it is down to personal preference. The mushy peas did sway that opinion. My companion started with the Fish Pie, accompanied by Bulmers, Old Mout Cider, and ended with a delightful Sticky Toffee Pudding with custard, wherby yours truly washed the main course down with some London Pride (on draught of course) and rounded the meal with an Bramleys Apple Pie with custard. Two happy travellers on a trip back home were well sated with the food, drink and atmosphere that would be hard to beat in this modern day eat-on-the-go society. Definitely ately a place to visit if you are hungry and want great home-cooked style food with a good choice of drnks."

"We popped in for an impromptu lunch, it was a nice airy space, super clean with a few tables already taken, we were asked where we would like to sit, the waiter was efficient and cheerful. The service was very good the waiter asked us if everything was OK and then left us alone which was perfect. They had one real ale on which was also very good. The food was lovely and good value for money, we will go back."

"During our four-night Somerset getaway to visit gardens in the area, we stayed at the Seedhouse Air B&B in Shepton Montague (highly recommended). The Montague Inn became our go-to spot for drinks, dinner, and Sunday Roast. Each time we walked in, we were greeted warmly and received excellent service. My wife was thrilled to find Butcombe IPA Zero on tap (she doesn't drink alcohol but enjoys a good beer), while I indulged in their House Red. The food was consistently excellent with sensible portions, high quality, and reasonable prices. The staff were friendly and attentive, the chef accommodated my dietary needs, and the overall atmosphere was exactly what you'd want in a local pub. We look forward to returning in the Spring and will definitely dine and drink here again. Thank you, Sean and Team!"

"Popped in today at lunch time for some drinks and food. I had fish and chips, my husband had a lasagna and our 3 years old had fish from kids menu (I regret that I didn’t take pictures of the food). The food was very good and tasty . We came here from Essex just for holidays but we really enjoyed it. The staff was really nice and made sure we had everything. The bartender Daren was very polite and patient with us until we decided what to order and he recommended the lasagna as well. Very good choice. Bianca delivered our food and she made sure we had everything and checked back on us. She also played a bit with our boy because he was a bit inpatient which was very nice. I really recommend this place and we definitely we will be coming back. 10out of 10 ."

"A surprisingly decent breakfast from a well-known restaurant chain, Frankie Benny's. With menu items like beef brisket, scrambled on toast, breakfast bap and a full English, there's good choice here. The seating is a little bit of a squeeze, but ours was a party of 6. Coffee and tea isn't refillable as with the likes of Wetherspoons, so the cheaper headline breakfast prices do nudge up a little if you like a few cups as we do. Having said that, the breakfast was very good. Everything was cooked well, the sausages decent, bacon succulent and eggs arrived with runny yolks. The only reason for docking a star for food was that the brisket was omitted on one of the beef brisket dishes. The atmosphere is lively, but we had to speak up at our table to compensate. Parking in plentiful, courtesy of Frankie Benny's being located at Hempstead Valley Shopping Centre. Overall, very good, so we'll be back. Oh, and a special mention to James who served us. He's quite a hoot and extremely good at his job."

"Just bumped into this little cafe hut by the beach. Stopped by as the kids wanted a slush; I had a double espresso instead (my wife a cappuccino). Can’t tell you what the slush cappuccino were like as the lot seemed to have disappeared but blimey I just can’t believe it the espresso was so good; frankly one of the best espresso I had over the past 35 years, being in the UK, Italy or anywhere else I have been. If they served it on a ceramic espresso cup like we Italians like it I’d have hugged the bar tender not just the espresso cup. Superb."

"We visited for a burger and fries on a voucher but that should not have affected the service we received. We arrived at the appointed time and waited at the deserted bar for a few minutes before a bar tender appeared looking as if he...had just left the gym complete with towel around his neck! He waived airily towards an array of empty tables. We ordered our drinks and chose our eats and these arrived in decent time. The burgers were delicious and filling and this was a major redeeming feature. However our enjoyment was hampered by two misbehaving children who were allowed by their parents -who were sitting at the far end of the bar to run riot, jumping on chairs, shouting to each other and messing about with the sauce sachets. I may be old fashioned but I would not have tolerated such disruptive behaviour from my children. The boy (aged about followed me into the gents and again I would never have led my child at that age go to the loo in a bar on his own. The kids managed to smear butter over one of the chairs. This was mentioned to a barmaid who had appeared together with the fact the the hand drier in the gents was broken. She seemed utterly disinterested. I had to wait while she messed about on the till to get my drinks bill which she managed to get wrong! Overall we were not made welcome. Not once did any of the staff engage with us or even break into a smile. No apology or thanks were forthcoming for any of our reported issues. It wasn't as if the place was busy. A course on customer relations is badly needed!"

"It’s a rare occurrence in these difficult times to eat out and be blown away by the food and attentive service! Tonight I gorged on ‘The Notorious P-I-G’ with mouth watering pulled pork, pork belly, smoky bacon and the delicious bacon jam, topped off with a side of the ‘Nashville Chicken Mac’. Tom the chef has created my ultimate meal; my mouth is still bursting with the perfect balance of flavours, the passion really has shone through and long may it last. Thank you ‘Jack N Grill’, I felt welcomed and left full of love."

"We booked just 45 mins before arriving, it was busy but that gave us confidence that it should be a good place. We were shown to our table straight away, Food was lovely, we had the fish 2 had burgers, really good quality produce. Dessert was equally good. We had the chocolate tart, the chocolate brownie salted caramel ice cream. We stayed some time no one moved us on or rushed us. We were just visiting Chippenham but we would go to The Pheasant again."

"Great place to stop on the way, the service and food was faultless and who would think a little road side pub would do snails!!!! We all loved it and even tried to do the same route home and stop for lunch but was faster going home another way. The staff really make the place and we don’t regret stopping there for one second apart from cars refusing to let you out onto the A303"

"Just had my first chick n sours and it was absolutely perfect. Even tho it was cold on arrival (deliveroo fault) not the restaurant, everything tasted amazing. I had the beef dripping fries, K-pop burger and the watermelon salad. I could eat that watermelon salad all day long and I'm not the biggest fan of watermelon but it was amazing. The chicken in the burger was still super crispy and the coating had great flavour. Will definitely have to find a free day and go eat in at the restaurant because this was amazing cold. Thanks chick n sours"

"I was very disappointed with my recent visit to this restaurant. We were there to celebrate my daughter starting university, and while we had a lovely experience when we visited last October, this time was a letdown. The waitress was inexperienced and rude, the cocktails were not enjoyable, and the food was mediocre. Our bill came to £169.00 for four people, and we felt like we would have been better off going to a different restaurant. There were no fairy lights outside, which was disappointing as we had wanted to take some photos on the balcony. When we complained to the manager, they admitted to having difficulty with staff employment and that the waitress had not been properly trained. This level of service is not acceptable for a Hilton Hotel."

"After a busy morning and dropping off my car at Catterick Service Station, my wife and I decided to grab breakfast at the village cafe. It was my first time there, although my wife had been in for coffee before. The cafe was small but clean and accessible. We ordered a delicious sausage, ham, and cheese omelette, scrambled eggs on toast, and mugs of tea at the counter before finding a table. The food arrived promptly, with the omelette being a standout dish. It may have been high in calories, but it was worth it. We usually don't eat breakfast out, but we were happy we did and will definitely be back in the future."

"beautiful pub behind the big hitters of the southbank. this charming pub, flanked by the national theatre and the Oxo Tower, offers a beautiful charm from the nearby pubs. menu is well thought out with tapas style sharing plate and a great frying dinner to offer, plus a board of daily specialties. we chose the crispy chicken burger, which was sunk in the swan and the duck breast, which was tender and perfectly moist. would definitely recommend eating as a place from the nabenbub of the youthful southbank for a bite!"

"Creamy garlic mushrooms were dry and lacked the flavour of garlic and no cream. Myself and my partner ordered chicken fajitas as our main course I had to take two condiment bowls back to the bar as they were all cracked and chipped and as a chef I am fully aware of HACCP and FOOD HYGIENE we were told that the sauces weren't fresh anyway. I informed the waiter that due to the ceramic bowls being damaged they collect a build up if bacteria which could potentially cause food poisoning again I was told that the sauces weren't fresh. After complaining myself and my partner were treated as if we had done something wrong. I think your staff are needing further training in the hospitality industry especially around FOOD HYGIENE and HACCP. A visit from an executive chef and environmental health my also be a good move. My partner also witnessed a member of your bar staff and one of your chefs wiping and picking their noses and not washing their hands. The bill of £55 was paid but grudgingly. Fair to say we won't be back."
