"We have visited this restaurant multiple times with both family and friends and have never been let down. The staff are incredibly friendly and always greet us with a smile. The food is delightful, made with fresh ingredients and expertly cooked by David. The staff also have a great sense of humor and join in with our family jokes (shoutout to Louise and Cat). We will definitely be returning. Make sure to make a reservation as it can get busy. The restaurant is currently decorated for Christmas, adding to the festive atmosphere. We have no complaints about our experience. xxx"

"Very good but bizarrely mind boggling Chose this resturant as reviews of food good and never been there before. Choice of food excellent and quality very good. Staff very attentive. Not much atmosphere and has the feel of a cafe albeit comfortable furnishings. We did realise this establishment did accommodation until we went to the toilet and then the most bizarre happened. Two apparently residents came into the resturant and sat at the table next to us, unwrapped fish and chips that they had brought from elsewhere and started to eat them!! The whole resturant then was overcome by the smell of vinegar and you could have been sitting in a chip shop. Not pleasant! I would go here again but only as a casual visit."

"we hosted our work Christmas celebration at the alexander hay in februar 2022 and my feedback is nothing but positiw. the venue was so courteous, especially around us, who had to be redesigned due to Covid restrictions. we had a buffet for eating including dessert and the whole food was delicious, something for everyone. adam was our contact at the venue and he was brilliant, always friendly, helpful and on the hand to answer questions. the rest of the bar staff in the night was also very friendly and quick to use. I would recommend the alexander hay after working for all work parties or drinks, it is a really nice place. the dj was also great! many thanks for everything that helps us to go seamlessly."

"Today, my aunt and I visited this restaurant. It was our first time seeing each other since lockdown, so we thought it would be nice to go out for lunch. Unfortunately, we were very disappointed with our experience. We arrived at 11:55am and there were only two other tables of two already seated. We gave our names for track and trace, got shown to our table, and then waited for someone to come take our order for about 15-20 minutes. For starters, my aunt had pate and I had garlic mushrooms, which took 35-40 minutes to arrive. We then waited for our mains – scampi for my aunt and chicken curry for myself. After nearly 50 minutes of waiting, I asked how much longer it would be, only to be told another 15-20 minutes. In the meantime, a table of four were seated and immediately served with pizzas and burgers. When I inquired why they were served so quickly, I was told it was because they skipped starters. The couple next to us were still waiting for their food. Frustrated, my aunt and I decided to cancel our mains. To our surprise, they still charged us for the starters and drinks. Needless to say, we will not be returning to this restaurant."

"Went there for quick lunch and it was a little bit disappointed. Spend £3.50 on a coronation chicken sandwich and £1.10 on a can of juice. The baguette was dry like it was lying there for more than 2 days. The lady did not used a gloves and cut the ends of the baguette not sure why probobly cause it was too dry to eat. That really ruined my baguette. Took it on take away and I was all ready too far to talk to stay about it. A great name for a place and lovely staff however it would be nice to see gloves on staff hands when they are preparing the food and clean cutting boards."

"the first time at this davy is for me, although a master father for my client. really attentive service and well tagged. shepherd’s pie delivered and my aubergine steak grooms were full of taste an ideal dish if they don’t want something too heavy. good ambiente. and it’s unnecessary to say an excellent selection of crying through the glass."

"I ordered a goat cheese salad at this restaurant and it was disappointingly small and lacked flavor. Additionally, they had already added a service charge to the bill, yet the waitress, who provided no service, had the audacity to ask for an additional tip on the credit card machine. Witherespoon serves better meals than her. Needless to say, I will not be returning to this restaurant and I do not recommend it to anyone I know."

"When I had eaten several times in the shepherd and dog, I was very disappointed last Wednesday. we waited at least 20 minutes for someone to pick up our order, and it was almost an hour when we had set ourselves until we got to eat. we chose from the a la carte menu where past eating was excellent, but on Wednesday the appetizers and main course were very mediocre. nothing like taste, presentation and quality at previous visits. the only saving gnade was the sharing gloomy. we stayed at least one more hour at the table talk and the desert plates and coffee saucers were just left and not removed. my friends and I have often visited for special occasions, but at £40 per head for a midday week without wine we expect better service and eat."

"this is my favorite pub for eating in banbury. but this time, despite the online booking on a day or two before, we came to lunch to find out the kitchen was closed for the renovation. instead we had a great all-day breakfast from rain’s cafe!"

"Generally lacking in ambience; landlady unsmiling. Decor drab grey, poor lighting. Tables need flowers or candles. No bread offered, had to ask. Service slow,even though only three tables occupied. A diner on next table said hats off to the chef, he/she has managed to cook a Sunday lunch and removed all the taste . We agree. Vegetables clearly came from freezer, at a time when the whole country is knee deep in wonderful fresh produce! Gravy, a sort of orange colour, was packet, no use of meat juices to add flavour. Overall, a sad little pub appearing to be a bit tired with staff going through the motions. Not sure why they 've added the phrase 'wine bar ', which it really isn 't!"

"I used to enjoy a night out at Harry's Bar in Billericay before the lockdown, finding it to be a classy establishment. However, during my recent visit, I found that the atmosphere had deteriorated. The bar was filled with very drunk and loud individuals, typical of the Essex party scene. By 9pm, the patrons were already rowdy and stumbling around, leading me to believe that the bar may require additional security as the night progresses. The female toilets were in poor condition, lacking toilet paper and with taps that barely functioned. Navigating the stairs was also a challenge due to the intoxicated individuals struggling to climb them. The staff was a mixed bag - the male bartender made me a nice cocktail, but the female bartenders were unfriendly and seemed disinterested in their work. After a few drinks, I decided to leave with my friend and head to a nearby pub where we had a great time. It seems that Harry's Bar has transformed into a rowdy, meat market club where patrons come to get drunk and dress provocatively. I have heard that the food is good during the day, so I may return for lunch in the future."

"My friend and I meet up and visit here for a chance to catch up, five or six times a year. We keep returning because we like the atmosphere, we can sit and chat and enjoy our meal in a very pleasant environment. The Menu is very appealing, it seems to vary a bit from season to season. We are yet to try the Steak Night. The Specials are always tempting and we always enjoy our meal. Stay are friendly and service is good. I would recommend this venue for a quiet meal out. We will certainly return."

"Amazing quality food, really well thought out and fresh. Not particularly cheap but that reflects the quality of the food, so it's not unreasonable. The location is great, lovely views of the seafront from the conservatory dining room. I'd recommend skipping starters, partly to cut the price down and partly because the main portions are huge."

"The food was good but……. Service was awful, ordered wine and it was basically dumped at the bottom of our table not even the top taken off ! Pizza was good also the burger, was a chore for the waitress to get us any sauces. When we had finished we were asked can I take your plates, No can I offer you a dessert, coffee nothing. After 20 mins we got up and had to ask for our bill at the main desk, again a chore for the member of staff to have to get our bill.what a shame as it could be a very high rating place to eat."

"Staff disappeared after bringing the food. For a whole hour and a half not a single member of the team either approached the table or looked in our direction. Had to stand up and go and ask for more drinks. Couldn't get them to bring the bill to the table so walked to the exit to pay.... waitress didn't even look at to us, just printed out the bill and handed it to us silently."

"I used to be a great fan of Pilgrim Pizza until the recent drop in standards noticed by myself and my friends independently. Since the menu changed, I decided to give it another go, to contrast and compare their meaty pizza with the superb one at the more pricey Pizzeria Mozza the day before. If they had the wisdom to keep simple comfort food simple and not try too hard, then the pizza could have been very good. But the tasty meat topping on a lovely base was totally wasted by not having any melted cheese on top as the stomach cries out for and instead, a fridge-cold Burrata sat out of place in it’s midst! Yet the photo on their website still had the melted cheese old version, which shows some things should not be changed! Christina"

"Well where do I start with the tavern team....I've worked in Customer Relation for 20yrs plus and I've part run my own business so I know service and have witnessed so service that has made me cringe. The team at the tavern made me so welcome it's become my go to place to relax and reflect on some tough days for me personally. The manager hires individuals and allows them to shine and be themselves. Nothing was too much trouble, Harry helped me with some tech issues I had, all were chatty and helpful. I met some truly lovely youngsters who helped me relate to why my 13yrs old was being such a teenager at the moment. Times have been so tough for this industry, they have lost alot of money snd trade because of this virus. So now the virus is going to be the normal let's get out if we can and support our local. Food was good, hospitality 5 stars, range of drinks interesting.....and they laughed at my jokes mostly about Karen's cause I'm a Karen apparently (sorry to all the Karen's I think you rock keep complaining but only if its genuine. Just need Rag and Bone man to play there then it would be 50 stars.....Harry and the stereo King's are playing on the 2nd April so that should be a top night."

"We had a fabulous meal, we booked for NYE as it advertised a disco, we enjoyed dinner and planned to join the dancing. We ended up staying at our table as it was just too full and actually so rowdy we were put off. The staff were brilliant, and could have done with more help, but they worked so very hard and were conscientious. The toilets, by 11pm were awash, apparently the gents were the same, which wasn’t pleasant. All on all, we had a good time, but could have been better."

"Stayed just the one night, parking round the back simple and great. Central location for all ofCleethorpes. Check in staff Kate was professional, didn’t really agree with the one night fee for my well behaved cocker spaniel of £25, that really hurt, I expected around £10 extra as most hotels charge where I have stayed. Room was ample with sky TV and even a cooling fan for the hot weather, had a quiet night. Nights receptionist Katie was great, going the extra mile with a smile. Breakfast was to order, cooked fresh, nice and hot, ok we were last in but chef was pleasant and accommodating to any requests. Lots of entertaining ornaments to look at for sale, a good idea to boost income and certainly a talking point. All in all, I would stay again, without my dog but with the charge, it becomes expensive. Pass my Thanks to the staff."
