"Our first visit to this delightful family run restaurant to celebrate my wife's birthday. We visited in the evening and were able to park right outside. The restaurant has a pleasant ambience. The staff were very welcoming and service throughout was very attentive without being intrusive. The menu offers a wide choice and we each selected 3 different steak cuts which were well cooked to our request. Prices are reasonable for the quality of the food. A nice touch was to add a lighted candle to my wife's dessert and orchestrate a chorus of happy birthday. An excellent experience only 4 stars for atmosphere but we ate early and I'm sure when it is full, the atmosphere will be 5 star vibrant. Thank you."

"This was my first time visiting this restaurant, and I was impressed by their diverse menu that catered to a range of tastes. The staff were extremely friendly and personable, and really added to the overall experience of dining here. I would rate the service, food, and atmosphere all a 5 out of 5. The price per person for lunch was between £20-30."

"My family and I had a pre-Christmas meal at the Hoddington Arms. We were greeted warmly and the service we received throughout our meal was exceptional. Our waitress was friendly and talkative, offering menu suggestions and knowledge of the wine list. The food was beautifully presented and cooked to our specifications. I would highly recommend the Hoddington Arms to anyone."

"This restaurant is not worth the hype or the high prices. Our table was unfortunately located next to the cooking area, resulting in strong and overpowering cooking smells. The shared Indian platter we ordered as a starter was disappointingly deep fried, greasy, and tasted like it had been frozen. The naan bread and rice were the only saving grace. The Chicken Makhani dish lacked flavor and tasted like canned tomato soup, and was lacking in spice. At £24 per serving, it was definitely not worth the cost."

"Venue suited our visit to the London Palladium. Staff lovely; helpful and friendly but not overly so. Food and venue average Spagetti House in this really quite small but pleasant restaurant. Service prompt. The downside was the lack of toilet facilities. The ladies was so small that there was barely 3cms between the door and the pan! Awkward to negotiate at the best of times but anyone 'larger than average ' would fine it really difficult. Only a single loo for men and another for women. Might have been worth considering having two unisex loos. Would only recommend with provision"

"I booked this restaurant for my mum's birthday. They set our table in the requested sofa area and we got a cosy corner which had been decorated with some small trinkets. My mum likes this restaurant so that's why we booked it. My sister and her bf live in Dalston which is known for Turkish restaurants shoulder to shoulder, they were pleasantly surprised and loved the food. I have been here before with my mum and I think they took extra care cooking the meats this time as all were perfectly cooked.. The fish was a little over cooked but it was still nice. This is not a fine dining restaurant and is your typical take-away or eat inside style place so I was very thankful for the care they took. Our waiter was also very nice but they always are, last time was the same when we went. The house was 3/4 full but I didn't feel like I was waiting."

"Very disappointing. I booked private room for my 50th and had someone come to decorate room before arriving she advised me that the manager Darren was rude to her when she arrived and told her to stop whilst he was speaking to some random person. I was advised £20 per head and I paid for extra 2 as they couldn’t go but didn’t want to say. Now checking bill I have been given a £30 service charge which I was never advised about. After settling drinks and food bill no one came to me and asked if everything was ok, so we just up and left even though we had room for another hour and half. Wasn’t willing to spend any more money. Will say food was lovely and bar staff was pleasant enough. But just found the guy Darren very off not sure if he owner or manager but seriously needs to brush up on manners if he wants people though that door! Everyone asked me today how Bistro 210 was gave them the honest answer won’t be back!"

"a traditional English pub with modern flair. they have a good selection of their favorite tips with a particularly good selection of gins. also one has to try is a flight from some of the national and local ales. they have the biggest hits of the British kitchen, fish and chips, steak and ale cake and the scotch ei. If they never had a scotch egg, they have to try. if they miss a vacation and diet, they try the brotpudding, fantastic! they also have a selection of salads. the goat is very beautiful. the pub is family friendly and dog friendly. they will even put out a bowl for their dogs. the personal is friendly and eager to serve them. a great place to see old friends and make new ones. almost forgotten to mention, the sunday roast is a must!"

"Staff were welcoming and it was explained to us that we would have to wait a little while for a seat because of overbooking which was a little disappointing. However, it was not a long wait and we both agreed that the food, (steak and ale pie and beef lasagne) were beautifully cooked."

"Stopped here on route from Worcester to North Wales and what a find! Went in with out a reservation and it was no problem, lovely menu, hard to choose what to get. Went for the Beef Brisket with Horseradish Mash and Buttered Greens and Gravy and oh my! Beef was melt in the mouth and proper mash and veg that was perfectly cooked. My husband went for the curry and had it extra spicy and it sure was that. It came half and half with chips and rice and a basket of Naan. My daughter had the mac and cheese with Garlic Bread and for the 1st time the meal came out the perfect temperature for her to eat straight away! The staff were all lovely. I would definitely come back again if we were passing this way. 5 stars from me."

"After hearing great things about The Oak Room, we were eager to try it out, and for the most part, we were not disappointed. There was a hiccup upon arrival as they seemed to have lost our reservation, but once that was resolved, we received excellent service from the pre-dinner drinks in the lounge all the way through to our meal in the main dining area. It was a nice touch that, upon discovering it was my wife's birthday, they served her dessert with a birthday message while the pianist softly played "Happy Birthday." The food was just as impressive as the service, making for a very enjoyable evening that will definitely encourage us to return."

"This is OUR local pub when we visit York. Right near our apartment. What we love is that there are lots of regular locals in...a sign of a good pub...some have been drinking here for 40+ years. The last time we went in for an afternoon quick half...lets just say it was 10 pints each later...fab afternoon and lovely customers both regulars and tourists. Lovely bar area...with open fire when it 's chilly...very quaint and always customers in to have great conversation with. Lovely lounge area too...and upstairs is where they serve the food. We had a Sunday lunch which was awesome with a massive fresh yorshire pudding. We have been in on quiz night which was great fun...and a few times when they have had live music...which is a great atmosphere and gets everyone singing along. The staff are so polite...always smiling and so helpful and friendly too. Proper old traditional pub...great staff...great place. We will be back."

"Total failure to meet Indigo’s basic promise of pre theater meal. We booked this restaurant from the US specifically because of its promise of its pre theatre special menu and service. We relied on their local knowledge and advise and booked at 6 for a 7:30 curtain . We Arrived at 6:05 delayed by an misdirected Uber) and seated promptly and ordered the simplest pre theatre menu after we confirmed our theatre plans and need for extra time as slow walkers. They confirmed no issues. Food and drink was fine but no time to eat as the entree arrived 10 minutes before our required departure time. If you can’t meet your promise, don’t promise. Totally failed."

"Our table was laid ready and waiting for us, but the tables were incredibly close to each other and we chatted to diners next to us as we were seated so closely. Salmon and Fennel was very disappointing and, although the side order of chips was fine, there was no vegetables to order with my meal. Desserts were very good. Service OK, but needed to attract staff at times to progress our order. Perfectly situated for our concert at The London Palladium and very grateful to have our table reserved, but main meals underwhelming."

"I have heard good things about The Oak Room and we were not disappointed, except upon arrival they did not seem to have our reservation. However, we were quickly seated and enjoyed drinks in the lounge before our meal in the main restaurant. After inquiring if it was a special occasion, it was a nice touch to have my wife's dessert served with a birthday message while a pianist played a quiet rendition of Happy Birthday. The food was excellent and the service was impeccable, making for a very pleasant evening that will definitely bring us back for another visit."

"On the day that myself and a friend went to The George for lunch it was very busy. We had booked thankfully but rather than be shown to our table the man behind the bar pointed toward the restaurant and said we were in the corner. After sitting for 20minutes I caught the eye of a female serving staff who said she'd be with us in 2 minutes.......15 more minutes later I managed to get the attention of a lovely member of staff. She was less than impressed that we had not be asked if we wanted drinks by the man at the bar, who apparently had also failed to tell us when we arrived, that there was a 45 60 minute wait for food. True to her word our food was the next served so we waited for 45 minutes. The food was tasty but definitely not worth the wait. We had booked for 12.30 but were eating closer to 2pm. I expect The George would be ideal on quieter days but it appeared that they struggled to cater for large numbers. Very disappointed."

"New Management. I discovered this cafe 3 years ago when a lovely brunette girl by the name Jerry and her mother Sonya had taken over management. For 3 years the cafe has worked like clockwork with amazingly cheap comfort food. The family have run this cafe with love tha reflected on the way they treated their customers. I have witnessed members of staff hugging other customers and I myself have neen given several freebies. The chef (mother) even baked her own spinach cake and allowed me to try it for free. Unfortunately, this family have left and have been replaced by a new group of people who should not be allowed to run a cafe. Even the cakes are what you would get for £10 in Costco....read more"

"Always a beautiful venue. We were greeted at the door. Had drinks and chatted on the sofas. We had a lovely round table which is perfect for conversation. The food was lovely. The staff put a candle on my mums dessert for her birthday which made it special. Our only complaint was that it was cold!! One of our guests actually stood up and stood by the radiator between courses. I appreciate that the restaurant had been closed for two days and it takes a while for the building to warm up ... but it spoilt what was otherwise a lovely meal !"

"Let's start with the positives; the food was absolutely delicious! This was hands down the best Indian food I have had since moving to Oxfordshire. The service was quick and the delivery person was extremely kind and thoughtful. However, I have to give this restaurant 3 stars due to the exorbitant cost of the 3 dishes (nearly £30) and the small portion sizes which were only enough for one person. I find it difficult to justify these prices, especially since I do not live in London. Having lived in Berkshire before, I know that food prices are typically higher there, but for £30 I would usually receive generous portions that would last me for multiple meals. I suggest reevaluating your pricing or increasing portion sizes in order to retain my business in the future."
