"My wife and I fly from Gatwick 4 or 5 times every year. Every time we head straight for the seafood bar, every time we visit, the food, service and champagne are absolutely perfect. On the 2nd of November however we went there early in the morning and I ordered a crab, at first I were told there were no crabs so I decided to order an alternative when a member of staff found a crab !. I ate it, my wife had salmon and scrambled egg and all seemed well. However just before we landed in Barbados I started with stomach pains, for the next seven days I could hardly move away from the toilet. I saw the pharmacist and he told me I had seafood poisoning! I absolutely love seafood and this is the second time in my life I have had seafood poisoning, as bad as seafood poisoning is it will not stop me eating it I 'm just a little disappointed that I had a dodgy crab at this place somewhere where we have spent many, many happy hours before our trips. Will this stop me going to the Caviar and Seafood Prunier ? Probably not it 's become a part of our holiday and I doubt the staff meant to sell me a dodgy crab."

"Another lovely steak dinner at Steak&Stamp! We arrived on time parking IS a bit tricky to be honest but worth it! but we arrived on time regardless of parking difficulties but our table wasn’t quite ready so we were shown to their little pub, it didn’t look too promising as we walked in, but turned out wonderful! A table of older gentlemen playing guitars and singing Christmas carrols, with bell ringing and whistles it was fabulous totally loved it! We were called to eat after about ten minutes.. I would've happily stayed longer soaking up the happy atmosphere of the pub! Five of us were eating and so we were seated in one of the ”summer-houses” outside. Sounds like that could be a bit chilly in November but not at all, they are very cosy and were all plenty warm enough. As there were five of us, we ordered the steak banquet and an 8oz fillet steak for my youngest daughter just so we would have enough to feel like a proper banquet. Realistically we didn’t need the fillet steak meal as there was more than enough food to go round and we couldn’t finish it all despite our best efforts! It was all delicious. Steak was cooked to perfection, all the sides are hot and tasty! The staff are so, so lovely. They make you feel like nothing is too much trouble. Great guys! Last time we went there there was no Worcestershire Sauce which was disappointing but not unusual nowadays! We were going to bring a bottle with us but forgot but it was lovely to find they actually have a bottle there now! Steak is always better with Worcestershire sauce! I feel that they noted something they were asked for and didn’t have and so they made sure to have it for next time. We appreciated that. The meal was lovely. Top notch! We loved it and we are already booked in to go do it all again between Christmas and new year!!

"We had two dinners and breakfast from this restaurant because we stayed in the Home Farm Hotel. We wanted to have the dinner and breakfast during our stay, but had to cancel our plans due to VERY POOR customer service received from Richard and also...because of his wife's cooking due to overcooked and burned full cook breakfast we received from the restaurant. Day 1, Richard introduced his wife to us, but she totally ignored us and in addition, she did not even bother to acknowledged and smiled with us. She seems to be very upset or very distance from everything or stressed/fed up about something at the time. Not sure this was due to over working… Day 1, Richard requested us to come down stairs for the dinner at 18:00, but instead of taking us to the restaurant for dinner, he tried his best to hard sell the alcohols he had in the bar to us and also to all the other guests. This happened even after we told him several times that we only want the meal and no alcohol from his bar. After about two hours, I had to tell him that I’m a diabetic and heart patient therefore I do really want to eat the meal and have a rest. He gave us the menu and I asked for lamb which was on the menu and he went crazy and said to us that they do not provide English food in this restaurant. I showed him what was on the menu, but he did not even apologise to us. He said lamb run out and asked us to select something else from the menu, again we selected duck, but that was run out as well!!! By then, Richard was sarcastic and rude to us as well as to other guests… In the end, we asked what we can have for our dinner. He almost shouted at us saying he and his wife only there to run the hotel without any staff therefore, we have to eat whatever his wife can cook!!! Finally, at about 21:00, we managed to have our dinner and I asked Richard to cancel our breakfast and dinner booking for the rest of the days however, he said we have to take the breakfast for next day because it was too late to cancel it. Next morning (Day 2), we were near the restaurant since 08:00 as Richard requested but as usual, past 09:00 we received burnt and overcooked full breakfast for two of us. They had a very large menu but it seems like most of the food either his wife did not know how to cook or had run out. Richard charged full price for our meals, BUT he FORGOT to provide the good quality food and services to the customers…"

"Our group of ten went out for a birthday Sunday lunch and we were all impressed with every aspect of Lisbon Tapas. The food, which included a variety of set meals and tapas, was fantastic - freshly cooked, well-seasoned, and served in generous portions. The friendly service added to the overall experience, and the ambience was perfect for our celebration. The highlight was when I was surprised with a Pastel de Nata topped with a lit candle and a rendition of 'Happy Birthday' by both family and staff. It was a truly memorable birthday thanks to Lisbon Tapas!"

"Fantastic King Prawn Duck. The best Sweet and Sour king prawns we’ve had for a long time. Really great Chinese food and good service. The Hot and Sour soup and mixed started was excellent but star of the meal were the sweet and sour...king prawns … really good a favourite. The only niggle was the noodles were a little bit Seared tasting but maybe the oil?? Overall excellent. Also with the re introduction of masks in shops was good to see those waiting for a takeaway wearing masks. Will come again soon snd not leave it as long to re visit next time. Worth the drive out. As mentioned by a few people is actually called Sweet Basil."

"fresh and very tasty mushes! we had fishcake, garnel and laughs as appetizers. 2 buckets with 2 different flavors: schalotte sauce and special muzzle with a little red sauce. both are really succulent! the house white wine was extremely light. I do not recommend going for this choice of the wee. if they are a seafood lover, this place must be one!"

"I’ve visited a few times this year and good and service was great! Sadly However today, the food wasn’t great. We had 2 haddock and chips with minted peas. Peas really cold and haddock really greasy. The burgers the other 2 had were nothing special but ok.The service wasn’t great, but worst thing was the waiter who delivered our food really stank of BO! Not nice especially in hospitality sector as hygiene is a must.I did mention this to waitress I thought was senior as I left she said ‘ I know’ and I said ‘ well you need to tell him, it’s not good, Good Luck’To sum up not notice smelling an arm pit when food is delivered taken away. How hard is it to wash and spray deodorant? We all sweat but seriously this was really pungent not nice.Lovely pub and atmosphere usually but this smelly chap ruined our experience. I hope this helps his future hygiene routine. Food choice wasn’t great, or that great for price and dreadful pong ruined main so we decided to skip pudding!So disappointing when u pay for a meal ur daughter is put off with arm pit smells not great for first meal out after lock down"

"Disappointed this evening , have been many times previously but tonight wasn’t a good experience. Staff very busy with many take away collections so not a relaxed atmosphere. They had run out of tofu at 7 pm !!! The wine we chose was unavailable, the meal took ages to arrive and the sticky Thai rice arrived in an inedible lump, I had to wait for a replacement by which time my friends had finished their meal. Piles of dirty? Table clothes laundry up at the back of the restaurant towards the loos . All looking a bit shabby , shame as it used to be great"

"Went to Steak on stones with pals tonight to take on the 22 quid for 3 course menu they've ran in January. Starter was soup of the day (Cauliflower) then Sirloin with chips and choice of sauce (peppercorn) and then donut and dipping sauce to finish. There was not even a glimmer of hope to switch the soup for a real' starter. I always find soup a waste of a first course...the only other option was a piece of bread for 1.50. Eh?! Steak was good, chups good, sauce...cold. donuts were quite tough and the jam was the saviour. Chocolate dipper was like burnt chocolate. Cocktails weren't up to much either. Service wasn't great and overall not overly impressed. Would rather stay home and cook my...read more"

"Oh my goodness, the food here was D I V I N E, with views of the sea whilst we enjoyed our food and drink was also very special! Favourite starter was the ‘vegetable pakoda’ well seasoned, lovely fresh and crispy and served with a delicious dipping sauce. The main that stole the show was ‘Gurkha Chilli’ which we had with lamb. My word the lamb was so unbelievably tender and seasoned to absolute perfection. I think it may have been the single most delicious lamb dish I have ever tried in my life. Just melt in the mouth fabulous with a nice kick. Popadums were light crispy and a lovely garlic naan too! Congrats Gurkha Chef you have just taken my number one spot for St Leonards There was some drama with the staff but dinner and a show is how we saw it. Nothing was going to detract from the amazing work of the chefs!!!"

"My boyfriend and I popped in last night (a Saturday for the first time, we didn’t have a reservation but were warmly greeted and immediately seated at a nice table. The restaurant has lovely homey decor and we both instantly felt comfortable there. There was a lady and a gentleman working who were friendly, professional and had a lovely manner which felt un rushed in the best way, i.e they give you plenty of time to look at the menu (which has a surprisingly large amount of choice! without feeling pressured into panic ordering which is what normally happens for me at other restaurants We ordered the Thai platter for 2 to share to start, then the beef massaman curry, the red duck curry and a sticky rice to share for mains along with a Singha and a glass of Sauvignon it was lovely to see the wines were from Tanners too, a good quality Shrewsbury wine merchant. The starter platter came with barely a wait and was absolutely delicious, chicken skewers with a satay dipping sauce, fish cakes with a sweet chilli dipping sauce, some prawn toast (which was extra specially delicious! , spring rolls and chicken wings. Thoroughly recommended, and I especially enjoyed the little pot of grapes and sliced apple that was a really nice touch! The mains came at the perfect time and were presented on top of a pot with a tealight in to keep the food warm as we ate which is thoughtful, they were both tasty mains and we ate every last bite. Perfect portion sizes too as we left feeling full without being too stuffed. Our bill came to £50 which for two really great courses as well as alcoholic drinks is very reasonable indeed. I’d happily pop back here any time and would recommend it for anyone who likes Thai food"

"Dukes is a spacious restaurant that we stumbled upon during our long weekend in Sidmouth. We made a reservation for Sunday lunch (they also offer roasts), but opted for a couple of bowls of salt, chilli, and ginger squid instead. The squid, mostly whole baby squid, were delicious with the ginger and soy dipping sauce. It would have been nice to have a wedge of lemon and a sweet chilli dip as well. For our main courses, we had the traditional battered cod and chips and a fish pie. Both dishes were tasty, but I wish the fish pie had more variety of fish, as it only included salmon and white fish; some prawns and monkfish would have been a nice addition, especially considering the price of £19. We also enjoyed a non-alcoholic IPA and a cola, bringing our total bill to a somewhat expensive £66. The service was good, and we appreciated that automatic service charging is not customary in Sidmouth. We left a £7 cash tip for our efficient server. Sidmouth is a dog-friendly village, so be prepared to dine alongside well-behaved canine companions."

"My wife and I ate at Chao Baan for the first time and are delighted to have found this restaurant. Too often we use the word ‘authentic’ to describe dishes but this chef/manager pair truly deserve the word. I was instantly taken with the menu, a Thai restaurant that at last understands that less is more. An adequate choice of dishes, not page after page of confusion, and a loving declaration that the dishes won’t be adjusted on request. Perfect! We enjoyed crispy spring rolls and king prawns as a sharing starter, I chose the king prawn and asparagus dish while my wife opted for the spicy chicken salad. Both dishes were outstanding. Indeed, we both noticed flavours we hadn’t experienced before, and these no doubt would be from Bangkok sourced ingredients. Service was faultless and obviously, we’ll be back for more."

"I absolutely adore this pub restaurant. The steam punk vibe is amazing and the chef is fantastic, along with the lovely accommodating staff. We decided to have all the starters tapas style and were blown away. The prawns in a chili oil with baked dipping bread were divine, and the tempura-style pickled onion rings were a unique and delicious surprise. The chef's creativity truly shines through in every dish, including the hot and fragrant samosas with a delicious dipping sauce. I highly recommend seeking out this pub, as it may be tucked away off the beaten track but is definitely worth the visit. Now, back to enjoying my frozen daiquiri!"
"This Thai restaurant in London is my favorite spot to dine. The food is outstanding, made with fresh ingredients and cooked perfectly. There is a wide variety of dishes to choose from, including many vegetarian options. The selection of wines is lovely and the service is exceptional. The prices are reasonable and the ambiance is nice. Located in the beautiful neighborhood of Barnes, this restaurant is a winner in every aspect."

"We are big fans of Thai cuisine we have been in Thailand numerous times, and experienced the real authentic Thai food. Despite reading a few poor reviews, we wanted to go and experience this place ourselves. We ordered Massaman Lamb curry and Vegetable Penang curry coconut rice. We asked for jasmine tea, but got Chinese green tea, that was incredibly weak (and arrived without the leaves/or perhaps tea bags already removed). Then arrived two bowls of rice the bowls were incredibly hot just like taken from the microwave, and the flavour didn’t have a coconut flavour at all. Rice was followed by Vegetable Penang curry (see picture), which was quite all right. Then we have been told that our Lamb Massaman curry has been made with chicken. So we politely said we will wait for the lamb one. This dish arrived within 5 minutes, and it was truly horrible the presentation, as well as the taste. The meat was tough and absolutely tasteless. It was far from the taste of Massaman curry. Just 5 days prior to this experience we visited our favourite award winning restaurant Yum yum in Stoke Newington (London) and had the Massaman curry over there. Perfectly presented, delicious and cooked to precision, and cheaper than the tasteless dish at Fluffy Rice. Overall Fluffy Rice is a disappointment we have been recommended this place for it’s authenticity, but this is far from it. At the end it’s important to note, that you can’t pay by card. You are presented with an option to pay by cash or Paypal transfer. Which is a bit ridiculous. Overpriced, low quality food, far from authentic Thai, and not worth it at all."

"We had been really looking forward to experiencing this establishment, based upon the glowing reviews. Sadly, we were left disappointed and surprised with the service that we received.The setting was pleasant and overall, the food was presented very well albeit the quite minimal portion sizes. The starters and puddings were fine. However, my partner’s main course, a chicken dish, was undercooked and the meal was taken away promptly for recooking. It was returned to us with some extra vegetables but there was little improvement with the cooking of the meat, resulting in my partner having to abandon eating the chicken. We appreciate that mistakes can happen – but it’s how you deal with them that counts…we were surprised that the chef was sent to our table and disputed that the chicken had been undercooked, we were disappointed by this and also most unimpressed that we did not receive any apology, nor offer of a discount...we had even purchased three bottles of liquor as Christmas presents – not one of these was offered to us for as a good gesture either. We felt rather dismayed and annoyed upon leaving the restaurant considering all of this. We like the idea of 'pop up ' restaurants and are always looking for new and unique dining experiences and sincerely hope that Dog House Kitchen can improve upon their customer service skills in the future, should any matters be unsatisfactory."
"The Rose and Crown in Chorleywood (note the location on the common, not the pub of the same name on the Harefield side of Rickmansworth) has long been known for excellent food, a good selection of beer, and the hospitality of the landlord and landlady. After lockdown it opened again for drinks, operating under careful but pragmatic restrictions. The restaurant at the back of the pub has been converted into a drinks area (as it used to be many years ago). Food has not been available until last week and the return is a triumph. Gone are the excellent steaks, pies, fish etc. to be replaced by a thoughtful tapas menu. We have eaten there twice since the resumption, both occasions proving excellent. Highlights included salmon ceviche (very fresh and tangy), sweet and sour spare ribs, a delightful lamb rump with a garlic dipping sauce, and octopus. Also added to the full menu is the traditional backed camembert (with the addition of roast garlic and an onion chutney, sweet potatoes fries, and pork belly. All the dishes are tasty, filling and innovative. There is also a small selection of afters, but so far I have not ventured there. We were told that the sticky toffee pudding is superb. Another advantage is that the food is a good excuse to explore Jeff’s wine list. We had an excellent Portuguese red blend. Capacity is down during the Covid-madness, so booking as advised. This will become more of an issue as word of the food gets out and the weather turns less favourable (there is some outdoor seating). One traditional touch is that punters are trusted to add a tip as they see fit, not be subjected to the ‘discretionary but dare to complain’ service charge seen in other local establishments (see my other recent review). The staff are diligent in cleaning the tables between guests and all the regulations seem to be followed. Great to have this favourite back."
