"A group of six of us get together every couple of months for a gentlemen 's lunch . We first went to Vivat Bachus almost exactly five years ago and enjoyed it, so decided to return. How things have changed! We went on a Friday lunchtime and there was hardly anyone in the restaurant., making it one of the flattest environments I can recall in recent years. The Cheese Room, which we so enjoyed last time, is shut and the South African dishes such as ostrich are no longer on the menu. We all thought there was a good chance it may not be around that much longer. I had carpaccio and a sirloin steak and I have to confess they were both very good, which is the only reason I have rated this as three stars. Even as I write I think I may be over-generous. But ... I don 't travel from East Anglia to a South African restaurant in London to eat Sirloin steak. We wont be rushing back."

"It was very average. Maybe my expectations were too high, but the prices on the menu suggested high quality and a friendly service. The service was bad, not welcoming at all. Drinks and cutlery slammed down on the table by multiple staff members. Not many smiles or polite manners. Food was average, not amazing and definitely not worth the price. Parking: Only 2-3 space for disabled parking. Kid-friendliness: Probably not somewhere you would bring your children."

"After making a reservation online, the restaurant staff promptly seated us and provided top-notch service with friendly and attentive servers. The food was delectable and beautifully presented, making for an enjoyable dining experience. The cozy and inviting ambiance added to our overall satisfaction, and we would definitely recommend this restaurant to others. Despite a minor mix-up at the beginning, our experience was fantastic."

"Vegetarian Options (Vegan upon request) WHAT WE HAD (3 Pax): 5 A Day £4.75] – Mint, Blackberries, Blueberries, Raspberries, Greek Yoghurt and Apple Juice; Radiant Roots £5.95] – Apple, Carrot, Ginger, Celery and Fennel; Golden Mango £4.50] – Mango, Tumeric, Yoghurt and Almond Milk; Full Veggie (Specially Made Vegan) £8.95] – Beans, Spinach, Mushrooms, Avocado, Grilled Tomato and Toast; Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle £8.95] – Avocado, Sour Cream, Jalapenos and Chilli Maple Syrup I came here for breakfast with my friends as they wanted to try the Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle. I did know that they have vegetarian options from the menu we saw the day before, but wasn’t sure if they had anything vegan. It turns out that they did not have any specifically vegan items on the menu. However, the waitress and kitchen was very accommodating and made modifications to the full veggie breakfast for me. It was your typical full breakfast made vegan that was simple and cooked well with fresh produce. I really appreciate how helpful and accommodating the staff were, especially in answering my questions in assuring me it was vegan. Really made me feel at ease. My friends enjoyed their Buttermilk Chicken and Waffle too which was a good portion too. We all loved the juice and smoothies we ordered as well! We also had a look at their cocktail menu which intrigued us. Excellent customer service, good vibes with the bright and fun décor that is still classy, good food at reasonable prices, I do see myself coming back here for dinner/to try their cocktails if I find myself in Edinburgh again."

"Good menu and service. The atmosphere was dizzy, but still able to talk. The tables were squeezed when you walked past the tables, sometimes felt the couple beside us was overheared to say that the same... a bit more space would improve the experience."

"The food was average, the service was okay, and the atmosphere was lacking due to COVID-19 restrictions which seemed to be an excuse to provide minimal effort. We may not come back as our reservation was for 7:45 pm, but due to COVID-19 restrictions starting at 6:00 pm, we had to dine earlier. We only found out about the change in dining time when we called the restaurant, as they did not contact us beforehand. While we are trying to support businesses during this time, it is disheartening when a restaurant seems more focused on doing the bare minimum."

"This unique hotel has a pub attached to it. The rooms are fantastic, with a country house vibe, featuring large four poster beds and full, ornate furniture. The whiskey bar on the ground floor was incredible, and the bar manager was very knowledgeable about whiskey. While the food (for both dinner and breakfast) was good, the service was a bit lacking; there were no teaspoons or sugar on the table, they served chips instead of fries, and some steaks were delivered to the wrong people, making it seem a bit disorganised. However, the hotel is in a great location for a whisky tour or a walking tour. The pub downstairs was also lovely, with a mix of locals and guests."

"The laughably poor Irish coffees were almost understandable, but not actually sure how a ‘French restaurant’ albeit fauxFrench, can actually cook a baked Camembert and get it so wrong. The rest of the food was just poor, added to which was generally haphazard service pushy and rushed at the start of the meal vs slow and uncoordinated for after dinner drinks and deserts. We have had passable Aubaine before in Mayfair, but this was just a big fail for Ken’ High St’"

"I was very disappointed with my experience at this restaurant. While the staff were friendly, they seemed uninterested in providing good service. The maitre'd spent over 40 minutes chatting with one table, neglecting other customers and showing unprofessional behavior. The food was only average, nothing stood out, and the presentation was lacking. I would not recommend this restaurant and I have no plans to visit again."

"I really enjoy dining at The Refinery. I have visited a couple of times now and have always been pleased with the setting, ambience, and staff. However, on my most recent visit, I was disappointed with the price of the main meal and the portion size. I ordered the pan-fried salmon, which was supposed to come with cauliflower for a healthy option. Unfortunately, the dish only came with a few small pieces of cauliflower, and I felt that it was not worth the £13.95 price tag. I would have preferred a larger portion for the price. I find that the mains are a bit overpriced for the portion size, and I would recommend ordering side dishes to feel satisfied. Despite this, everything else about my dining experience was wonderful."

"My partner and I are regular visitors to the wonderful pub!! We have never felt the need to leave a review, though after our lunchtime visit today, we both wanted to put down on record what a gem this is in the Oxfordshire countryside. Staff are always engaging, the chef is so very personal, always coming to your table to discuss menu choices. Today, we both started with the cheese and haddock soufflé, which were spectacular, followed by a beautifully cooked duck breast and ribeye steak, both were wonderful. This pub cannot be recommended high enough, when looking for an eatery I would say look no further than the Fox at Boars Hill!!"

"The food arrived promptly and was delicious. The wrap was packed with flavorful chicken, fresh vegetables, and a tasty sauce. The wings were perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Overall, we were pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food from "Wraps & Wings" and will definitely be ordering from them again in the future."

"When I asked for the bar snacks menu, I was sent from one person to another just to get a menu, only to be told they couldn't find it and might be out of menus altogether. The quality of the dishes was disappointing. The chicken was extremely dry and served lukewarm, while the crispy squid was just a soggy piece of fried squid that lacked flavor. It's disheartening to see this, and unfortunately, I left as a dissatisfied customer."

"We ordered the BBQ 12" pizza and mozzarella dippers at this restaurant. We didn't have to wait long and were impressed with the freshness and flavor of the pizza, which was also very generous in toppings. The dippers were crispy and light. We will definitely be getting takeaway pizza from here in the future!"

"We visited the Lion Key Hotel before the Ride100 event, and we had heard great things about it. The experience exceeded our expectations. The food was fresh, creative, and absolutely fantastic, all at a very reasonable price. The service was personal, friendly, and attentive. The decor was lovely, creating a wonderful atmosphere that helped us relax and calm our nerves before the race. We will definitely come back!"
"Great place went there for a Sunday brunch with the kids and some friends. I usually don't expect much from a weatherspoon but I was surprised in a good way. Friendly staff , they were welcoming and got us highchairs for the children. The place wasn't overly busy but I can imagine it's packed during the week We ordered 2 kids Sunday roast it came with chicken, peas, roast potatoes, carrots and gravy. Plus a drink and fruit bowl. The portions were pretty decent We also ordered the Sunday roast for adults it constited of half a chicken, Yorkshire pudding, sausage and bacon, mash, gravy and peas along with a drink. but you had the choice in between turkey, beef or chicken Our friends had...read more"

"The food was excellent and the service was top-notch. I want to give a special shoutout to Venkata for his exceptional service. The restaurant was quite busy during lunchtime, so having more staff on hand would definitely help improve the overall efficiency of the service."
