"Went to Mr Cooper's for a friend's birthday and really enjoyed it. We were seated at the bar while we waited for our whole party to arrive. They then took our orders for drinks and moved our drinks to our table after. The waitress knew which glass belonged to who which was impressive. They let us take our time to order and did not rush us at all. Overall the service was very good. The decor was beautiful the bar was different from the main restaurant. Everything about the restaurant made it feel like we were in someone's backyard or garden which was very unique. It's nice for a restaurant like this to offer that relaxed ambience. The food was delish! We had the oysters, spinach rolls and the scallops. Not of a fan of the fried oysters but the scallops were well seasoned and well cooked. The Yubu spinach rolls were the best out of the three starters we ordered. We ordered the steak for the main course which was cooked perfectly. The serving was larger than expected! Please see the pic uploaded. I salivate just thinking about it. The TRUFFLE PUDDING served with it was diviiiiiiiiiiiine! Had the pineapple tart for dessert served with spiced ice cream and caramel. The tart was crispy and freshly baked and the pineapple slightly sour but there was a good balance with all the flavours and textures of the dish. I really enjoyed Mr Cooper's House and Garden and would definitely return multiple times! I haven't given it five stars as I've had similar food in other restaurants and the menu wasn't mind blowing. Nevertheless, great quality food and excellent service!"

"Four of us chose to book at The Victoria in Oxshott for our Sunday Lunch today. We rarely go out to eat as it is such a luxury these days and our usual choice The Onslow Arms in Clandon was full. We arrived at 12:45 to The Victoria and while there was a fire burning, it had not matured and the restaurant was a little chilly my wife kept her coat on for most of the meal . Our table was ready and our friends were already sitting at it. The Victoria is self designated as Fine Dining in Surrey yet there were no tablecloths something that is sadly lacking these days and yet, makes such a difference to the feel. As it was a Sunday, traditional roasts were available although chicken strangely was not. Only red meats available lamb, beef and pork yes, pork is, as you know, a red meat . My wife therefore chose fish and chips, one of us had the pork and the remainder, the beef. However, our friends also chose a starter each the soup and the beetroot/goats cheese mouse. The starters were enjoyed they were certainly presented well and apparently were very good . The mains arrived and I could see the disappointment on my wife 's face when a small battered piece of fish adorned the plate, placed in front of her. While it all tasted good, it was mostly batter the actual fish within was such that she had finished her dish before we were halfway through ours. At £26, it was rather insulting. The roasts were adequate but again, the amount of meat on our plates did not reflect the price it absolutely does not compare to other establishments. Deserts: we all had a desert a 'Marathon Bar, Aero, chocolate sorbet ' at £15 !!! , two of us had an unremarkable sticky toffee pudding ' £12 each but worth not much more than half that while my wife had the 'Pineapple carpaccio ' but she lucked out again as this was absolutely tiny! The service was adequate for which a service charge of £30 had been added to our bill . Summary This is not fine dining although the prices suggest it is. Having said that, the food was fine nothing special triple cooked roast potatoes were soggy not crunchy but the meat itself was tasty and perfectly cooked. Absolutely overpriced for what was provided there are so many better options available if you book in advance. Consequently, we would not return. A combined bill including a bottle of wine was virtually £270 far in excess of what we should be paying for four Sunday lunches. Parking: I did not park in a paid parking lot so it may be free on Sunday I do not know but there is not parking at the venue."

"WOW! What can we say!? Chris Katie catered lunch at our beautiful outdoor wedding at Moonacre, Sturminster Marshall. They had a fantastic layout and lots of menu options available several different burgers, wieners fries! They absolutely smashed the service and excelled at feeding a few more than expected too! They made us a gorgeous little personalised menu also which we thought was such a nice touch! Everyone couldn’t stop talking about how amazing their food was even those who would never normally consider vegan options were blown away at how great everything tasted! They managed to positively influence even the most stubborn meat eaters of our guests to realise that they don’t need to miss out on flavour when choosing vegan options! That’s a huge win in our eyes! A couple of people even said it was the first ever vegan food they’d tried and they couldn’t get over how amazing it was! We told our guests about the Mighty Wieners restaurant in Bournemouth and will be bringing people back for more as they couldn’t wait to try more options! The day was such a huge success and Chris Katie did such an incredible job! We can’t recommend them enough, for food at their restaurant and wedding events catering! Vegetarian options: Excellent vegetarian and vegan options! Dietary restrictions: Served gluten free options! Kid friendliness: Excellent service friendly, warm and when above and beyond! Wheelchair accessibility: Perfect for full accessibility!"
