A refreshing cold soup with ripe tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, olive oil, and vinegar, perfect for a light summer appetizer.

"When we arrived, we tried to make a reservation but couldn't get through by phone. Fortunately, there was no problem getting a table as it was surprisingly quiet for a Friday night. We ordered four venison dishes and two duck dishes, which soon arrived. Unfortunately, all of the venison meals were cold, including the mashed potatoes. We spoke to our waitress about this, and she assured us she would take care of it. The dishes came back, and as we dug in again, we found they were still lukewarm. The venison itself was tougher than I remembered from my previous visit. I mentioned this to our waitress, and in response, we received some complimentary French fries, which the kids loved and were hot—unlike the mashed potatoes. To her credit, the waitress apologized again and mentioned that to make up for the cold venison and mash, she had arranged free desserts for all of us, which was a nice touch. The desserts were delightful; the ice cream profiteroles were a hit with both the kids and the adults. The meal would have easily earned five stars if the main courses had been hot. It’s disappointing because I truly enjoy the location and the home-cooked quality of the food. I hope my experience was just a fluke, but with the current challenges facing restaurants, it's essential to be consistently at your best. Everyone is feeling the pinch these days, and a negative experience could prevent us from returning."

"I can't say I was particularly impressed by the food from the menu, likely due to the season. The escargot were lacking in flavor and firmness, and the garlic butter was more oily than buttery, with an abundance of herbs but very little garlic punch. The gammon steak was excessively salty, while the chips were just okay. On the bright side, my partner enjoyed her mezze. The coffee was good, and the selection of beers was decent. The service was very friendly, and the location and the building itself were beautiful. Additionally, there was some lively dancing with a live DJ, which helped offset the disappointing meal. Perhaps our experience was not as good as that of our friends who dine here more regularly. Overall, the service, ambiance, and music have certainly left us wanting to come back for another visit."

"What a truly exceptional dining experience this evening, utterly faultless Each course was beautifully presented and the ingredients meticulously explained. The quality of locally sourced, caught and foraged produce was excellent, beautifully balanced and the portion sizing perfect for a tasting menu with multiple courses (this is not your standard three course menu). We thoroughly enjoyed an amazing two hour culinary experience My wife has dietary restrictions (gluten and dairy) and this wasn’t an issue. Some of our dishes varied slightly and, as with any great restaurant, they created equally tasty and enjoyable dishes even with these constraints First class all the way, great service, great food, a highlight of our holiday, many thanks to all!!"

"Tucked out of the way on an estate this little gem is really worth a visit. Great for lunch with a mix of small plates or bagels. Great cakes as well (the triple chic brownie). Super cosy inside for cold days and a lovely patio outside for sunny days. Didn't visit the main restaurant, only open from Thursday at the moment and you'll need to book but based on the lunchtime food I would think it's 100% worth a visit."

"The Pack Horse is a rare gem that seems to balance being BOTH a terrific pub full of locals and tourists, AND a Fine Dining Experience without any hint of pretention. Pretty much everything about our experience was great. It is quite expensive, but IMHO it's worth it. We had a cocktail each a cocoa espresso martini and a signature old fashioned. Both were outstanding with surprising flavours that really worked. The 3 course menu is £52pp (August 2024) and definitely worth it, in that it includes a pre starter (we had a fantastic gazpacho with home baked bread and herby butter). The wine list is quite pricey but there are excellent choices by the glass. Service was great. This is not just a(nother) gastro pub."

"The restaurant has a very nice ambiance and the service was excellent. The surroundings are beautiful and there is a quiet yet lively atmosphere. The food was good but nothing exceptional. The portion sizes were large, but the presentation was lacking. The dishes all tasted good, but I personally did not find them outstanding. I do not drink, so I had a mocktail served in a mason jar with a handle, which I felt was more suitable for children or beach bars. In a world where many adults do not drink, I would suggest presenting mocktails as you would normal cocktails to appeal to a wider audience."
"We visited Tare on Friday night and enjoyed the seven-course tasting menu, which was absolutely fantastic. Every dish was delicious, thoughtfully prepared, and expertly presented. We didn’t try the wine pairings since I’m currently not drinking, but most of the other guests seemed to enjoy them, and they received positive feedback. The service was top-notch, featuring a well-known sommelier, and our server was incredibly helpful throughout the evening. We had called ahead to inform them that one of us is lactose intolerant, and we were pleasantly surprised to find that they had prepared delightful dairy-free alternatives for us without any hesitation. Tare is truly a gem of a restaurant, and it’s one we will definitely make the trip to Bristol for in the future."

"my first visit to this restaurant gave him top brands, but recent visits have disappointed me. my penultimate meal of king prawn tikka masala contained of muddy soft garnel that I did not eat. I didn't mention it. but told a worker when I ordered a meal for the collection next. When I collected that eating, I mentioned again the garnel at the obvious chef and he looked at me with confusion and it was obvious that he was not aware of the problem. I had mentioned to the author to make sure that my garnels were fresh this time and that some extra garnels would be appreciated. he told me our garnels are always fresh, so obviously I am a lügner in his mind. my disappointment turned out to be twice. no extra garnish and yet a mushy soft garnish. I love their sose so that I can buy hawn tikka masala in future (until I buy a replacement restaurant) and to cook my own fresh garnels and add from marks and spenser’s. it is a shame that the service and the bad garnel have left a bad taste in my mouth."
"in a ära where casual eating and lack of formality (wassoever) seems to visit hambleton hall felt like a time travel. I have a few lifestyle blogs and books of late enlivened the lost art of civilized eating. how often have they put their table perfectly, well presented and all their best fucked and cute out? likely if they are entertaining? I must confess that I have made my fair share of slobbery, and we still choose to sit and eat before the television. I feel that after our little visit to hambleton hall, everything that will change."

"It is a 5-minute walk from Oxford Road. The store has a hot pot area and a barbecue area. The barbecue area is on the second floor. The environment is ordinary and not particularly high-end. The waiters are enthusiastic and there are many locations. You can choose 26 all-you-can-eat or a la carte for meals. It is recommended. The all-you-can-eat option is not too expensive and there are many varieties to choose from. The important thing is that everything is delicious, whether it is sliced meat, skewers or seafood, and the serving speed is not too slow, but there will be a service charge in the end. It is recommended that you make a reservation before coming, but you will need to fill in your card number before making a reservation to prevent you from not showing up. If you cancel too late or do not show up, you will still be charged."

"High expectations. Great disappointment. Nice ambience and service was fine. But food very second rate and not particularly cheap. Fish was very wet and overcooked and full of bones. Risotto had a very strange taste to it. We tried 3 different deserts and none matched the description eg tarte tatin was actually a poached apple. All where disappointing. We would have complained if we weren't on route to the theatre. If food quality is important to you I would avoid Purchases. Walkability: 5mins from Cathedral in pedestrian area Food drinks: Fish was very wet and overcooked and full of bones. Risotto had a very strange taste to it. We tried 3 different deserts and none matched the description eg tarte tatin was actually a poached apple. All where disappointing. White house wine was Ok"

"Very mixed experience as far as food was concerned. I enjoyed the three courses, the main in particular but do not feel it was value for money. My wife had two courses, the first she felt was very bland and she did not enjoy the main course of duck breast which was chewy and lacked a crisp skin. Definitely poor value. I have to praise the two young people who waited on they were very professional and attentive which made up for the lack of atmosphere in the dining room. Overall it's unlikely we would visit again. As a matter of interest, the photos and recipes in 2009 Bryan Webb's book show very little has changed. The decor is still the same and many of the recipes were still used."

"We hadn't booked and were pleasantly surprised to get a table on a Friday evening. Initially, we found the restaurant staff unwelcoming and not particularly friendly. However, after making conversation, both our servers turned out to be professional, warm, and chatty. I had delicious scallops to start, but it was a small portion for £16. My partner had the wonderful cheese souffle, which never disappoints. I had the bream with stir fry vegetables from the specials menu and this was superb. My partner had the Sirloin steak with Bearnaise sauce which he thoroughly enjoyed. We shared the mango cheesecake with coconut sorbet and I wish that we had ordered one each as it was so good. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our evening but at £150, it's somewhere that we'll reserve for special occasions."

"Great to see this lovely restaurant still going during incredibly difficult times. Shame that the lack of Corran ferry is impacting on passing trade as this restaurant is a must visit. Three choices for each of the three courses gave plenty of choice with a really interesting mix of flavours. Nice wine selection. Staff couldn't be more helpful and were happy to accommodate another table's request for only one course even though it is a set menu. We opted for three courses and have to say tasting each others made it difficult to say whose was the nicest. Booked back in for dinner and hopefully a lunch. Perfectly priced for the number of courses and the quality"

"This was our first dinner at Milly's after several failed attempts, and based on last night's experience, it certainly won't be our last. We were greeted by Ben and seated at a table in this charming and quirky cafe, which reminded us of a Parisian Bistro on the Left Bank - simply wonderful. The music set the perfect atmosphere for the evening. The menu had everything we enjoy, and the dishes were cooked to perfection. The service was very friendly and not overbearing. We had a delightful evening and are eagerly looking forward to our next visit. Thank you, Milly's - we'll be back soon!"

"The best restaurant for us gourmets for over years. As far as the food and drinks are concerned, we were never disappointed here. Friends, to whom we recommended Apple's restaurant, were also very enthusiastic. Very personable and constant staff. When we come here it's a little like coming home ... with the advantage that WE are pampered. As long as we stay in Hamburg, this restaurant will remain our regular restaurant!"

"I recently visited a café bar that offers multiple vegan options on their small plates menu (they suggest ordering 2 to 3 per person) and all of their side dishes are also vegan. I tried the tapenade with crisp bread, which was delicious, and the gazpacho was also very tasty. However, the roasted courgette linguine dish was a bit disappointing as I couldn't taste any courgette. The sumac skin on chips were flavorful and well-prepared, although I couldn't detect the sumac flavor. I didn't have dessert, but I believe they offer at least one vegan option. The cocktails were great, especially the bloody Mary (ordered without Worcestershire sauce) and the margarita. The venue was lovely and overall, I highly recommend this place!"
