"Great service!! I don't know that girl's name but she really made sure we had everything and that we enjoyed our dinner. About food, we ordered king prawns starter, it was tasty with little chutney on the side but just 3 small prawns. Really really really small portion size for that price. Naan here is simply yummy. We ordered Vindaloo with it. Like a typical Goan Vindaloo, this one was hot, very spicy but flavourful. It had well made chicken."

"Lovely cosy restaurant that has seemed to slip under the radar under the shadow of surrounding pubs. Unfortunately so! Unlike some of the other pubs on upper st, we were welcomed in and seated immediately and presented with a menu generous with options. I could describe the meal as a really tasty home cooked roast dinner, with an edge of fancy. But doesn't sacrifice quantity for quality! Really delicious roast pork, accompanied by a £1.50 **** Mary! Great to see a veg friendly roast option. The panna cotta for dessert was silky and delicious. Great bustling atmosphere without being too noisy or busy to be served."

The dining room is beautiful and has a lovely atmosphere. The main maintenance is professional and everything is organized and under control. Overall, it was a relaxing, calm, and soothing dining experience."

"We were disappointed by the service at our experience. We were celebrating a special occasion for my daughter’s birthday and we confirmed with the hostess numerous times. It would’ve been nice if the front of house communicated that with our server. Also as soon as our entrees were delivered, that was the last time we saw our server for the evening and a runner handled our table for the remainder of the evening. For high quality elevated dining at a top price point, there were several occasions where Savoy Grill dropped the ball in our opinions."

"Simply the best roast dinner of my life Everything was so superlative I had to force myself not to eat fast. Each individual item on the plate was the best of its kind I have ever had. Before you think I am a friend of the restaurant owners I am visiting from England and went with friends : Met at the door by a lovely gent who sat us and took our drinks order. Served by others who were non Intrusive and only interested in making our meal an excellent experience. I cannot explain how amazing the roast was. The meat was perfection, the honey flavoured veg was divine. The potatoes were unlike any I have ever had. Now the “Skirlie” I have neither seen nor eaten before. What a treat!! It was like the chef wanted to show off and this was his opus. Simply brilliant from start to finish. I am positive I will never have a better roast dinner Amazing work to all involved Thank you. Peter “The American” living in England."

"the environment is amazing and special, service unsurpassed everywhere I had the bark wellington medium, the medium rare and was still good, even a little chew in the middle and my wife had the pork chop that was incredibly I was selected to pay a 2017 angelo gaja compliment and it was an amazing wein I was a little panicked with flaked in serious £1000 range, so the apple pie was amazing and the poched pears with a desert wine (tokaji) was brilliant. when we rarely go out, it was special and we were made to feel something special which is great."

"Our experience at the restaurant was good, but it was slightly spoiled by a family with two young children who were loud, walking around, and not well disciplined by their parents. We had chosen to dine here instead of going to the local Wetherspoons in order to celebrate my wife's birthday in a peaceful setting. Despite mentioning my wife's birthday when booking the table, it was unfortunately not acknowledged during our visit."

"My husband and I were looking for somewhere relaxed but special for my birthday dinner. We don't get to go out much because of the kids so this needed to be good. And Grow40 was perfect! service was incredible. Cocktails were deeeelicious. Dinner was lush too. I'd describe it as extremely well cooked simple food. No fush, just great ingredients with great taster. I had scallops with pea puree and the puree was incredible! Followed by sea bass with broccoli and an olive/tomato chunky salsa type thing. Also lush. Def recommend. It was the perfect start to our evening before strolling through town for a few after dinner drinks."

"service was slow and people who came after us were served before us drinks and meals. we had to ask for drinks and menus and for our orders. I had the duck with honey roasted veg. I do not prefer to eat too much meat, but no veggie option on the menu. the duck was harder than she looked, so I hardly ate anything of it. the personal had taken over the costs for the bill. were delicious. it is a beautiful atmosphere and the bar next to heaving. overall a beautiful place to go with friends. even if I was somewhat disappointed with my meal, I would try something else on the menu again and again."

"We enjoyed a drink at the outdoor bar before having a fantastic meal with friendly service at this restaurant. They even added a special touch for a birthday celebration. The starters and mains, especially the seafood, were excellent. Don't miss the delicious lemon tart for dessert. This was our third visit and we can't wait to go back the next time we're in Norfolk."

"For our main course, we both had steak, and it was delightful; they truly serve the best steaks I've ever had. However, I ordered dauphinoise potatoes on the side, which turned out to be extremely dry and tasteless, resembling boiled sliced potatoes with a crispy top instead of the creamy goodness I expected. We also ordered a side of mixed vegetables, but they forgot about it. We assured them it was no problem if it would take a while, but they ultimately prepared it, arriving only after I had finished my meal. When we spoke to the waiter, he mentioned that the usual chef was absent (as we had requested something from an old menu), so I suspect these mix-ups were due to a new chef or perhaps a less experienced one working on Wednesdays. Overall, we were quite dissatisfied with our meal, but we’ve enjoyed the restaurant in the past, so we will return—just not on a Wednesday!"

"Stopped here for Sunday lunch today. The White Horse was welcoming and quickly showed us to our table in the renovated stable area. Unfortunately the room was extremely cold even with my coat buttoned. On asking the waitress who was incidentally dressed in a...body warmer and had woollen gloves on) if there was any heating I was advised yes and that she would turn it up. We had ordered two turkey roasts and these were served to us minutes later….teeth chattering I couldn’t wait to tuck in. The meal was presented beautifully stacked however I could clearly see the gravy was setting and on my first bite I realised my meal was barely luke warm. The waitress asked if our food was ok just a few seconds later and although I informed her that our meals were virtually cold the response was just “ok”. Not really sure why she asked if she wasn’t interested in my response. Feeling so hungry we ate our luke warm food. The only other faultI had with it was the Yorkshire pudding which had risen to becoming just a dried up puff of wind. Not really tasty. On paying the bill for our each cold roast dinners we was asked again if our meals were ok. Once again we advised they were barely luke warm and once again the response was Ignored. Not sure why they asked, if you serve up below par at least acknowledge someone’s answer, maybe even offer a voucher for a return visit, anything but at least acknowledge. It might also be worth adding a couple of heaters in the room as the under floor heating is not up to the job. We were not the only table shivering. Toilet facilities were very clean and of a good standard, marginally warmer than in the restaurant"

"It was a sunny evening, so it was quite busy, especially outside. Yet there was only one member of staff to serve everyone. She was friendly but didn't know what she was doing. We had to wait very long for everything. Food didn't arrive at the same time. When she gave us our menus, she also handed us the set menu lunch menu, I asked if we could still order from that because it was after seven, she said it was all fine so we ordered from the set menu (normally we don't order a starter, but we assumed the portions would be smaller because the price was considerably less than the same dishes on the normal a la carte menu). Even though the main was supposed to come with a side, we forgot to order and we were never told to pick one. Once the food finally arrived (two dishes were exactly the same, but one came about 5-7 min later than the other) we couldn't bother asking for our sides because it would probably take another hour. We also decided not to order coffee or dessert because of the long wait. In the end my mum went inside to pay because no one seemed to be serving us anymore. When she showed me the receipt when we got home I was shocked to see that we were charged full price for every dish and not the set menu prices. We had very small portions and no sides. At this point I couldn't be bothered to go back or contact them about it, also because we felt bad for the waitress who had to everything on her own and was friendly. The location is great, but it's overpriced and bad service. I wouldn't go back unless this changes."

"Buy all accounts the previous reviews, the real kitchen skill evident in the delicious starters, and the courteous discussion with the owner/chef, this would normally be a five star across the board review. Unfortunately we dined on an evening when inadequate temporary front of house staff (and one main course that we returned) resulted in a less that perfect experience. Our starters (Korean Crab Octopus stir fry, Seared Scallops) were terrific the complex flavours and presentation spoke of a truly gifted and skilled hand in the kitchen. When we returned the undercooked main, there were no quibbles and we were quickly offered apologies and an alternative and, on opting to have a further starter (Crab Delica Pumpkin Ravioli), we received a double portion by way of compensation: this was again excellent and very much appreciated. However, the fact that we (two)were the only diners in the restaurant but had long waits for each course to arrive, emphasised the organisational glitches, which the owner/chef subsequently explained. I'm sure that these issues are not the norm, and this restaurant will provide a really good experience. Please try all the starters if you possibly can."

"Our party was a group of 6 friends getting together for the first time in 3+ years one couple visiting from the USA The food drink and service were excellent unfortunately it was extremely noisy in the bar area where we were seated probably due to the presence of a very noisy raucous group sat at the bar Having said that it would not discourage the 4 locals of us returning soon"

"My husband and I had booked a table for 2 at Augustine as part of our Christmas Day out on Friday 23 December 2022. We arrived excited and very much looking forward to our meal following all the lovely reviews however it didn’t go well at all! Our booking was at 1.45pm and we called to say that we were running 10 mins late. This didn’t go down too well as the kitchen closed at 2pm. We arrived at 1.54 after sprinting down the road to make it and apologising profusely. I can honestly say that I’ve never received a greeting like this.. I think I have greeted a plumber to my home better than that! Clearly she was VERY upset that we were 10 minutes late. Well it didn’t get any better, the menus were placed in front of us (with no word spoken) and she came back probably around 3 minutes later to take the order and of course we hadn’t really had a chance to look, we were still trying to catch our breath and dab the sweat from our brows! So we didn’t really have time to take the menu in and had to order something quickly to avoid upsetting her any further. Unfortunately the service didn’t get any better, the whole experience was rushed and we just felt uncomfortable. It was like sitting in someone’s house who doesn’t really want you there! The food and wine itself was nice and the set lunch menu is excellent value but the service unfortunately let it down hugely."

"The service was courteous, although a bit too quick since the restaurant was not busy when we arrived. The food was excellent and nicely presented, but the meal felt rushed as we would have preferred more time between courses. Nevertheless, we would come back when we are in Canterbury next time."
