Pub • Cafés • Asiatic • British

"The meal was disappointing and rather pricey. The shared terrine was not very tasty and served with uninteresting 'salad ' and toast. '£8 for a mediocre dessert in a pub doesn 't seem good value either. Main courses were better with pink lamb but the fish was served with no starch side dish."

"amazing eating. they were so much loved here three times. for lunch: chicken breast (sounds brummt, but is amazing) and the sugar roasted pork is best. also the coley (fish) is amazing! highly recommended. for dinner: the lamb shoulder is probably the best. the cod is also amazing. very recommend to get two entrees and share with their partner."

"The first time we went we age from the lunch menu with the 3 courses for £18 option I really enjoyed my starter, the short rib had a beautiful barbecue taste and the pickeled mustard seeds added a fantastic texture and a beautifuly sharp contrast to the meat. I felt like the crispy shallots didn't add much other than texture, maybe more would've helped. Presentation wise I loved the jar the ribs came in For the main course at @alstonmanchestr I opted the Tweed Valley 250g rump steak which was served with garlic butter and fries on the side. The rump was a £3 surcharge to the set menu, I could've had a flat iron steak for no extra charge but I couldn't do that to myself. The steak was so perfect, I asked for mine rare which did not disappoint. The meat was thick and tasty. I enjoyed the fries but I would've preferred chips, also if I wasn't having 3 courses I would've grabbed some veg on the side. For Dessert I enjoyed Dark berries and gin tart with almond ice cream. This was a great end to my meal, the gin undertoned the sharp Berry flavours and wasn't overpowering. The pastry was firm and sweet. and I enjoyed the dessicated almond on the ice cream provided a nice texture. Our second visit we ate in the evening from the a la carte Starter Courgette and corn fritters with chilli tzatziki did not disappoint, they smelt very aromatic and were nice and crispy. The flavours were great but the main event had to be the chilli tzatziki underneath, it tasted incredible Main I had decided a few days before that I deserved a T bone as it had been a while since I had one. This one was 500g and served with either chips, mash or veg, and a choice of sauce. I opted for chips and I decided to try the bone marrow butter which did not disappoint. All the Tweed Valley steaks at Alston are hand selected by a master butcher from the best cattle that's been fed grass and barley My steak, served rare, was perfect and in true T bone fashion got less cooked in the center so I was pretty much eating a live cow..mmmmm. The seasoning on the seared meat was gorgeous and with that bone marrow butter spread on it was taken to a next level"

"Had tried this as a result of good reviews. Sad to say the actual experience was somewhat rather less than this. My friend, who had been there before, did agree that this was much less than previously experienced. Perhaps the 'real ' chef had over-worked on Valentine 's Day . Doubt that we will be returning, as there are other more lovely places [riverside for example] with better food options and way better parking."

"My wife and I took my wife’s 95-year-old Mum out to lunch. As always at Cote the staff were attentive and kind and the food was delicious. We’ve noticed recently that the superb value of the past at Cote has started to come under a bit of pressure and that’s a shame, but that seems to be the way of the world! We paid just over £30 a head for two courses, with soft drinks and coffee all round. Not bad, but we may forget the coffees next time! Thank you Cote…another lovely meal."

"After years of contemplating, we finally made our first visit to this restaurant. We decided to splurge on a joint boarding party meal and it was well worth it. Despite the lack of luxurious decor, we found the atmosphere to be very relaxing and comfortable. The restaurant was bustling with customers, but the food was exceptional and we both thoroughly enjoyed ourselves in this unique and locally-owned establishment. We would definitely recommend it, however, it is unfortunate that the restaurant is closing today (28/7/2017) as one of the owners is retiring. This might explain the large number of diners who are seizing their last chance to dine here. I'm sure it will be missed."

"we were recommended to go to candlelight inn for dinner by Sarah-Jane martin from the belfry at yarcombe and wow I am glad that she did. the service was absolutely amazing, we felt appreciated and appreciated, many smiles and very attentive. the location is beautiful and everyone seems to know each other, which means they have regular customers. if I lived near, I would go back. I had the best veggie burger ever! I have to go back. I had to ask for their social media contacts so I could recommend them to everyone. the candlelight inn and the belfry at yarcombe were certainly the highlight of my birthday weekend. please come by when they are in the opposite. Five."

"Hi there, I am sadly writing you this email in regards to a complaint I will be making. Today (23.9.23) around 11am I have come with a friend to meet for breakfast, unfortunately we witnessed some racial comments from a member of your staff, this was a young boy, with brown hair with curls at the front, we were completely flabbergasted with what we witnessed. Your staff members said very loudly in font of other costumers” this is not the Indian cuisine” and laughed with this college, as a man of Asian heritage came in and walked out again. And shortly after he came back in with his family your staff member, then laughed. I am really disappointed with this and I do not stand for racism. How can I take this further? My email has still not been answered"

Cote Brasserie St Christopher's Place

Wine • Cafe • Fish • Steak

"Before anything the tables are greedily close together so it’s like you’re sat next to the table next to you. They’re also tiny. We couldn’t have a starter and a drink. Even the person who hosted us commented that the tables are small (we hadn’t said a thing) and they worked there. The food: my mum had a chicken dish and I had a vegan burger. The food came up and my burger and chips were cold. So I asked them to please be reheated. They returned cold. Before I’d stated it wasn’t the most appealing looking dish but by now plenty of time had passed and I’d lost my appetite so I sent it back. We realised that the kitchen is a weather spoons style submarine ride down a narrow flight of stairs and the people bringing the food have to wait for the people using the bathrooms to pass. Which was why my food likely got cold (my mum’s didn’t). Now the staff did waive my meal (rightly so) and our drinks (2 teas) and did offer to make something else, but I was so put off. That was decent. However they kept saying “we have a large party in tonight” and blaming it on that. If a large party books a private room in a restaurant, the restaurant know plenty of time in advance. This isn’t an acceptable reason for cold and unappealing food. Poor, wouldn’t recommend nor will I use a Cote again."

"An ‘occasion’ dining. Expensive (on par with The Ivy type of price) but absolutely great evening out. Delicious food and wine, fantastic staff, great ambiance. We took our two sons (st uni) and their girlfriends. Two sharing Cotes de boeuf (4 people) tho the ‘rare’ requested was more ‘medium’.. would go again, but not for casual dining!"

"Today, 8 of us visited for lunch and had a great experience. The staff were pleasant, the service was excellent, and there was a great selection on the menu. The prices were very affordable and the restaurant was clean. We can't wait to come back and try the evening menu. Best wishes to Ray, Ciaran, and the whole team. We highly recommend this restaurant and think it is a great addition to the craft village in Derry city centre. We will definitely be back soon!"

"Our first choice restaurant was booked up so we decided to eat here because the menu looked really nice and it was convenient as we were staying at the hotel. It was full and so I was encouraged that it would be good. Some nice warmed bread was brough to the table with some olive oil/balsamic mix. The ration wasn't quite right as each time you dipped the bread you got olive oil and no balsamic. We ordered the wood pigeon breast (special) and baked sardines as starters. The breast was overcooked and the red wine sauced lacked any depth of flavour. The baked sardines allegedly came with a basil and garlic crust, Borlotti beans and a herb salad with lemon oil. I struggled to find any basil, garlic or lemon oil. I don't know what they braised the borlotti beans in because they had little or no taste. The sardines were lovely but rest of it was just apallingly executed. Steak is a great dish for judging the competence of a kitchen. It's difficult to get wrong and if you can't get it right then perhaps you're in the wrong section or profession. With that in mind and the disappointment of the first course we both ordered the Chateaubriand rare and rare to blue with extra sides of green beans and tenderstem brocolli. We did ask if it was possible to get a bernaise sauce but were advised that it wasn't. I know restaurants like to avoid going off menu but a bernaise takes me about 10 15 minutes to make so I'd expect a professional chef to do it in half that time. It's possible they didn't have tarragon or more likely the lack of demand would have meant them wasting most of it. Not a huge issue and it made no difference to our rating. The Chateaubriand was tough, chewy and lacked any seasoning it hadn't seen a flake of salt before it reached our table. Normally a great cut like this is tender to cut through, melts in the mouth, has great carmelisation on the outside giving that wonderful flavour. This was just like beef jerky....a real shame. The highlight was the cherries which were wonderfully sweet and bursting with flavour and the green beans. The tenderstem brocolli was underdone but I prefer that to overdone. The chips lacked any crisp bite, like they'd been sitting out for a while. The peppecorn sauce had a nice peppery hint to it but I do prefer a little more pepperyness. The red wine sauce was the same as the one used for the wood pigeon so again it lacked depth of flavour and could probably have benefited from reduction. My partner decided to forgo dessert as the previous courses were so disappointing and the few dishes we saw come out were not particularly appealing. I went for the cheese board. The cheeses were nice and mild. The figs went well. There weren't enough crackers and the slices of cheese were quite small. The front of house staff and serving staff were great, sadly the restaurant is let down by the kitchen. I expect much better food at £53/head. On the strength of the breakfast and dinner we had this place just can't deliver good food."

Glewstone Court Country House

Full • Wine • British • High Tea

"I was quite disappointed with the tasting menu, which I find is definitely not worth the £80 per person. The lemon sole was overly salty and inedible. For the main course, we received a minuscule portion of lamb that lacked flavor, a tiny potato, and a peculiar fish dish that was hard to comprehend. The dessert was unremarkable. On the positive side, the drink server was very friendly, and the ambiance of the restaurant is pleasant. However, I wouldn't recommend dining here. I'm unsure why the quality was so low, and I dislike leaving negative reviews, but I felt it necessary to caution other potential diners."

"My first visit to LayaLina was on Valentine's Day and it was surprisingly quiet with only two other couples present during the two hours we were there. The food was excellent, although we were limited to the Valentine's set menu. The waitress did allow me to order one item from the a la carte menu, but unfortunately one of the dessert options was not available. This was disappointing considering the restaurant's quiet atmosphere and the fact that it was a set menu. The Valentine's set menu was priced at £85 per person, whereas on any other day the same choices would have cost £60 per person. I found the markup to be excessive and unnecessary."

"Excellent food and drink choices for party of six. Efficient but unobtrusive service by staff. Appropriate time between courses. Good to be left alone at meal's end and not rushed for bill. One minor issue: rocket served with three dishes old and tired. We have pointed this out to staff before."

"I ordered a hamburger medium rare. It came well done. I pointed it out to the waiter who claimed We can 't make it medium rare . said Why didn 't you tell me when I placed the order Waiter replied. It says so on the menu . I asked to see the menu. There was no such statement on the menu. I asked to see the manager. He said I 'm the manager . I was not offered a replacement or refund even though I had taken only one bite. The staff treat the customers like they are idiots. My daughter 's fish stew was the only redeeming feature."

Cote Brasserie Worcester

"Staff were excellent but the food quality and portion sizes were questionable and not great value for money. The burger was particularly poor quality, over cooked and dry. The steaks were less than average. The mussels were excellent! A few tweaks are needed for this restaurant to be a serious contender in Worcester."

"The atmosphere was amazing. The jazz was fabulous and made the evening. We ordered our food and within less than five minutes it was delivered to our table. I would assume it was microwaved. It tasted okay but was nothing special. We ordered tart Tarim for pudding And it looked like microwaved slop on a plate. Albeit it tasted okay presentation was not good. Thank Melvin for the jazz it was wonderful."
