The Union Steakhouse

➤ 8 East Street Rye, East Sussex TN31 7JY, Winchelsea, United Kingdom

Cafés • Pizza • Seafood • European

"We visited with our son and his French girlfriend for a pre Christmas dinner. They are both major foodies so I was hoping the good reviews were true but I think we all have a new favourite restaurant in Rye! The service was excellent; very friendly but well informed. The restaurant is unfussy but charming and we started with cocktails which I’d recommend. The menu is wonderful, offering the freshest ingredients and delicious food. Presentation of the food was excellent and the taste was superb. The chef is very creative but sticks with a smaller menu which I prefer. I wish I’d taken more photos but I was distracted and forgot. The whole experience was great and we will definitely be back soon."

Blanchette

➤ 9 D'Arblay St, Soho W1F 8DR, FSA Food H, London, United Kingdom

Steak • Salad • Tapas • French

"I’ve been her several times over some years. The general atmosphere is good and the food good but variable: Mixed Olives (out of a jar) a real let down come on guys! Serve them fresh. The Rillettes was lovely with gherkins “and served with some fried type bread; just French bread would have been ok. Rillettes is fatty so no need for bread fried in oil… the mustard mayo tasted and looked just like salad cream, disgusting, forget it as it adds nothing to the dish. The sea bream tartare cured egg sesame and soy was very unpleasant. Far too salty the sesame was polarising as a flavour and there was not a hint of acidity to cut through the oily fish. Didn’t finish this dish. We had confit duck which was beautiful. Couldn’t taste the wild garlic and there were no broad beans. What we got was delicious confit with petit pois and lozenges of runner beans. But still very pleasant. I’m guessing the menu was written in the Spring but not revised. Finally I had the goat cheese and my partner the raspberry and mint sorbet both good The wine is TOTALLY over priced I would say with a mark up of 500%. We had the house white which would be around £7 a bottle wholesale but sold to us for £37. Not worth it. I would go again but offer this : It’s very very noisy! If you are going to serve from an a la carte menu make sure it’s amended and upto date. Never serve bottled olives in a French restaurant. Yes I’m a foodie and food critic. I would go again but be careful what i ordered."

The Olive Branch Clipsham

➤ Main Street, Rutland, United Kingdom, LE15 7SH

Pub • Steak • British • European

"The Olive Branch has become a favourite and we returned for my birthday lunch and a visit to the Yew Tree Avenue. We ate outside in the sunshine in one of their uniquely decorated gazebos, although the pub is lovely and full of character. Before...I go any further, I write this review because I know that they take on board our comments and strive to get better and better. There was a big lunch party in the barn, so parking was tight and we were worried about noise. We needn’t have worried as the hubbub subsided once their food was served. We ate from their “Lunch for Less” menu. Heritage tomato gazpacho with smoked creme fraiche and wild garlic and I had the pub made black pudding with apple, curried pickled onion, egg yolk and crispy pork. Both delicious although I’d have liked more of the pickle and the crispy pork. Decent size portions none the less. We both had the pan fried sea bass with cockles and prawn pearl barley in a shellfish bisque with sea vegetables, lemon and fennel. We were given a spoon for the “soup” but it was all absorbed by the pearl barley. We were expecting it in a little cup on the side... so why the spoon? Unfortunately, the sea bass was only one fillet cut between us. Not good enough when mains are over £18. Maybe they were running low, because of the big lunch in the barn? Having said that, the skin was deliciously crisp and melt in the mouth and the flavours were superb. We don’t tend to go for meals that are all protein and carbs, so it would have made our day if the sea vegetables and fennel had been much more evident or we’d been asked if we’d like other a salad on the side. As for asking, no one came back to ask if everything was alright... I had asked for the beer list to order another with the main, but we had finished it before anyone came back... may be because of the big lunch in the barn??? Next time we’ll book a different day if there’s a big lunch in the barn! The deserts were every bit as good as you’d expect. Banana pannacotta, dark chocolate mousse, hazelnut ice and Sticky toffee pudding, miso butterscotch and Guinness ice cream. I’d have been happy with just the Guinness ice cream! The birthday celebration was marked with petit fours for both of us, on a platter iced with Happy Birthday. A nice touch, thank you. A small deduction was made by us for the standard of service, which we explained, and were thanked. Hopefully on our next visit, these inconsistencies will be rectified. The Olive Branch can excel... and they do listen."

Martin Wishart

➤ 54 The Shore Edinburgh, EH6 6RA, United Kingdom

Wine • French • Coffee • British

"What an absolutely brilliant experience! We were lucky enough to treat ourselves to a few nice meals while in Edinburgh and Martin Wishart was easily the best. Friendly and perfect service, tasty food and flexible menus with great wine pairings. What's not to love and I look forward to returning when I'm next in town! Beware the roads nearby are easy to get lost/stuck on, due to building work!"

La Mesa

➤ 5B Old Square, CV34 4RA, Warwick, United Kingdom

Steak • Mexican • Spanish • European

"Very enjoyable evening here. Six course tasting menu, the outstanding ones for us were deliciously intense mushroom and mustard soup ;fabulous fresh, citrussy tuna ceviche on lip smacking garlic and chilli guacamole ; superb gambas on paella with belly pork. Accompanied by smooth and easy drinking Rioja, also offering white or rose, Estrella for beer drinkers. All the diners around us appeared to be having an equally good time. Very reasonable value for such high quality."

White Hart

➤ Wharfage, TF8 7AW, Telford and Wrekin, United Kingdom

Pizza • Cafés • Mexican • European

"Having visited the White Hart a few times over the past couple years and having an amazing time every single day we assumed today would be no different. So i called the restaurant and asked the lady on the phone if they had a table free in the restaurant and received a blunt no. Right okay. So I asked. Do you have to book? Then she sighed on the phone to me and said no but were busy so good luck. After this horrific phone call we decided the best thing to do was pop in as surely this wasn’t the same white hart we were used to. We entered and we were immediately greeted by a young male and female who both said hi to us upon entry and they both guided us to the menus and a table inside. These two members of staff are the only reason i’m not giving 1 star as i couldn’t fault them in anyway whatsoever. Upon arrival and until we left they both had a smile on their faces and greeted us constantly. This put our minds at ease a little. We ordered a couple of sandwiches and they weren’t bad but they weren’t anything special either. But we did only have sandwiches and for £7 you get what you pay for it was definitely not bad food. However the person from the phone call made an appearance again. I recognised her voice immediately as she came over to the table with our food and quite literally placed it half an inch above the table and dropped. She wasn’t interested in asking if we needed any cutlery or even if our order was correct. So again saved by her colleagues the other waitress (who I discovered to be called Katie) fetched my partner some tartar sauce and some cutlery and napkins for the table and even had a chat with us about our days. A drastic improvement to the other member of staff. So TLDR: The white hart is still alive and kicking however they’re being dragged down by their own staff who don’t care about the business."

Whitstable Oyster Company

➤ Royal Native Oyster Stores, Horsebridge, Whitstable CT5 1BU, CT5 1BQ, Canterbury, United Kingdom

Salad • Cheese • Seafood • British

"Finally got to experience this absolute gem of a place. We went with friends and had to book in advance and put a deposit down. This place is popular and I now understand why. The inside is basic with a few tables no frills, but the staff are lovely and there is a lovely atmosphere. I now understand why this place is so busy, people from all over flock to this place for the amazing food. We started with oysters, I wasn't keen but tried them and now a convert they were incredible. I wish I could remember the toppings but can't. The flavours exploded in your mouth and lasted for a long time after they were incredible. The starters were faultless I had the pork belly and scallops and again the flavours were incredible. For my main I had the Moroccan spiced monkfish omg wow and souffle for desert. All the dishes we had were breathtaking and we can't wait to return. If you want amazing food, coupled with excellent service then you have to come here. This food is made with passion and that shines through. You will not regret booking this excellent value for money. Meal type: Lunch Price per person: £50–60 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5 Recommended dishes: Rock Oysters, Blue Cheese Ice Cream, Pan Fried Crab Cake, Lobster Lasagna"

Long Melford Swan

➤ Hall Street, CO10 9DY, Babergh, United Kingdom

Steak • Seafood • British • Vegetarian

"As you’d expect in Long Melford this pub is a jumble of rooms, all pleasantly presented. The rear patio and garden offers sunny and shady spots. Dog friendly. The Swan seems to be leaning towards a wine bar, bistro vibe most noticeable in the menu, which was sorely lacking in lighter options at lunchtime. Not a sandwich in sight and the only real contender, a chicken Caesar salad, was off. I’m not a fussy eater but struggled, eventually opting for a pleasant but unremarkable gazpacho. My wife went for a more substantial tuna dish which was very good. Presented with new potatoes, boiled egg and a mound of olives it was pleasant but too much for a light lunch. Service was friendly and smooth. Go there if you have a hearty appetite but there are plenty of alternatives nearby."

Sonning Golf Club

➤ Sonning Golf Club Reading, Berkshire RG4 6GJ, RG5 4RE, United Kingdom

Wine • Pubs • Lunch • Casual

"We organized a special event on Monday for 8 golfers who were close friends of Chris Cornish, who unfortunately passed away a few months ago. Three members of our group are part of SGC and had spoken highly of the course, so we were able to play at a discounted rate and thoroughly enjoyed the challenging and well-maintained course. After our round, we had delicious food and drinks with Chris's son and daughter, whom we had invited to join us. The tables were set up following Covid guidelines, both on and off the course, and all the staff provided excellent and attentive service throughout the day. Despite the somber occasion, it turned out to be a lovely day overall thanks to SGC."

The Coast Dining Room

➤ 15 Shooters Hill, Isle of Wight, United Kingdom

Pizza • Steak • Vegan • British

"The clue is in the title, this is place that delivers on several fronts. Whether you're looking for brunch, lunch or dinner The Coast is a fantastic choice. Join them at any time during the day and your tastebuds will be delighted by the dishes available. Not that you have to eat. The bar space is a great place to stop for refreshment at any point during the day. The bar staff know how to serve a cracking cocktail too! The bar and dining room has a warm, chilled out vibe think bare bricks and wooden floors even when it's buzzy busy. A visit is made all the more enjoyable by super friendly front of house staff and a manager who knows how to keep customers coming back for more! It's a top spot in Cowes and not to be missed!"

The Green

➤ 3 The Green Sherborne, Dorset DT9 3HY, United Kingdom

Cafés • British • European • Vegetarian

"We all enjoyed the food my brother had the pork terrine from a nearby supplier, which he enjoyed very much. I had the Dorset Crème Brûlée. It came with a crab and Parmesan twist and the whole dish was absolutely fabulous. Full of crab flavour, and very fresh. For main, we all had stuffed guinea fowl, which was equally good. The flavours of the vegetables were well matched with the chicken. I had cheese for my dessert, a healthy portion that I couldn’t finish. My brother had the crime brûlée and my sister in law had the Mille Feuille. They both thought they were delicious. All in all, the food was excellent. The servers were friendly and knowledgeable and made us feel very welcome. If I lived in Dorset, I’d go back often."

The Anchor

➤ High Street, Ripley, GU23 6AE, Woking, United Kingdom

Pub • British • European • Vegetarian

"What a little gem of Ripley it is! We went for an afternoon walk today and fancied a little stop on the way back. And what a treat this pub was We only had a drink each and a few nibbles but we thoroughly enjoyed our time there. Food was good quality and presented well. Homemade humus was yummy and polenta chips were a perfect combination of soft and crunchy! Phoebe and James looked after us and made us feel very welcome, including Ted, our dog, who got some water, a treat and, of course, attention Thank you, guys! We'll definitely be back!"

Orrery

➤ 55 Marylebone High St, Regent's Park and Marylebone W1U 5RB, London, United Kingdom

Tea • French • Cheese • American

"Visiting the Orrery was a once in a lifetime experience (for myself and my partner), and it took a discount voucher on top of another offer so that we could afford it! The staff are excellent. From when we arrived to when we left, they could not have been more attentive and informative and worked hard to make it a special occasion. We had the five course taster menu, and when they realised it was through a voucher the menu was taken from us to be replaced by an A5 piece of paper with the menu on which actually had the name of the discount voucher on it. Hey everyone, look at us, we 've not got the big menu. We have a piece of paper because we are not paying full price. Of the five courses, only the dessert stands out elderflower pannacota with strawberry jelly, a real treat. The slithers of cheese with minute crackers were excellent. The beef should have been the highlight but unfortunately failed to live up to expectation. We enjoyed and appreciated the commentary given with each wine course. Again, we can not fault the staff. The techniques on each course demonstrated the skills of the chef. Unfortunately, the flavours did not match the obvious talent. It may have been that our expectations were too high. Other guests were certainly enjoying their meals."

Ely Winebar

➤ 22 Ely Pl Dublin, Ireland Dublin 2, D02 AH73, United Kingdom

Wine • Fish • Soup • Seafood

"We had a wonderful experience at the Ely Wine Bar in Dublin. It was a very special day as it was our last day in Ireland. Our attendants Gabriel and Carol made the most out of it for us. Gabriel gave us an excellent recommendation for wine and whiskey and Carol gave us the best recommendations how to celebrate our last day of the journey. The Ely Wine Bar is definitely the best Winebar we've ever been to an we would recommend it to everyone who likes good wine and excellent service. The personalized Service by Carol and Gabriel made us feel like we've been there a plenty of times. We were treated like part of the family and that's the greatest experience we've had on our whole journey. We're definitely gonna come back the next time. Thank you for the wonderful day!!!"

Elystan Street

➤ 43 Elystan Street, London SW3 3NT, United Kingdom, SW3 3PR

Soup • Salads • Chicken • European

"A cute restaurant serving great food. Everything we ordered off the lunch set menu was delicious with beautiful plating and satisfying portions. The burrata in particular was a standout item. From a mocktail we ordered it seems that they have a great mixologist in house too. Service could be a bit warmer and more attentive though while taking our orders they were careful on asking about allergies. Cutlery is very worn and badly scratched, a mismatch with the overall ambience of the restaurant. There was also a dirty crusted knife on our place setting which we had to alert the wait staff on."

The Royal Oak

➤ Royal Oak Common Lane, SP3 5PA, Wiltshire, United Kingdom

Pub • Steak • Vegan • British

"Had it not been for the promotional videos by James May we would never have known about The Royal Oak. The positives. Good size car park. (Lane leading to is a bit narrow for those with Sunday funday cars. Nice pub, atmosphere and very helpful, friendly staff. The food served for both evening meal and breakfast was very good. Eating in the oak room is very pleasant. The bed in our room, excellent. The rainfall shower and the hot water heating excellent. The negatives. First impressions of the accommodation is a very worn stair carpet and walls scuffed from people dragging bags. A narrow cluttered passageway that seems to be the office? Our room and en-suite wasn't clean. We were disturbed by other guests, dogs, and noisy bathroom extraction fans. This is not the fault of The Royal Oak or the owners, but it did affect the quality of our stay and sleep. The breakfast experience is poor. The food itself is fine, but the overall experience not so much. If nearby again we would visit for a drink and a meal, but not to stay. The accommodation is not good value for money, the bar and restaurant are reasonably priced."

La Perla

➤ 12a N Parade Bath BA2 4AL, UK, Bath and North East Somerset, United Kingdom

Pizza • Kebab • Tapas • European

"I love food. I love finding new places to eat and exploring cities for the best bars and restaurants, but every time I go to Bath, I only book a table at this gem. Sometimes alone. Sometimes with family. The location (once you 're down those steps) is warm, welcoming and so cosy. The food is just incredible. Each time I find a different dish to rave over: last time it was the octopus, the time before it was the ox tail. Every mouthful screams 'this was created by people who love food! ' The chef has a Michelin star to his name and his passion and skill is apparent on each of the plates served by La Perla 's attentive staff. Even his gluten-free bread is one of most amazing things I 've ever tasted (although that might be because of the oil from the garlic prawns or the freshly-made alioli I load onto it). I hope to return for my birthday and I hope I 'll have room for the Catalan version for creme brulée. I usually do."

The Plantation

➤ 53 Cliff Drive Canford Cliffs Poole, Dorset BH13 7JF, BH13 7JG, United Kingdom

Meat • Steak • British • European

"we had a table where were in a good place isolated from other tables. we chose bratbeef that came quite fast, but was only luke warm so that the waitress was more than happy to take it away. minutes later we have. all new tellers of foods that were much hotter and the bratkartoffeln and yorkshire were crispy. However, the bark was not good, about was very chewing and unusable. we didn't mention it to the waiter. we shared sticky toffee pudding with salted caramel ice that was good."
