"Excellent food! The focaccia starter was a little overpriced for what it was, but still tasty. However, the main courses more than made up as they were both delicious and although not large portions, were a good size and a lot better than many places. I had the pork belly/pork loin with dauphinoise and savoy; my other half had the goats cheese and cranberry filo with orange and chickpea salad. Would be happy to recommend both dishes. The dessert was the real standout though. The lemon curd and passionfruit Eton mess was the choice for both of us, and it was simply superb. Little things made it so good, like the homemade meringue that was much denser than normal meringue, and the liberal application of fruit (always a bugbear of mine with this dish elsewhere). The staff were very friendly, helpful and just seemed like a really nice cheerful bunch of folks. All in all an excellent experience. This was my first visit in almost 25 years, but I'll be back again for a third visit soon!"

"When we got there our table had been given to someone else so we were put in a corner right next to another table within earshot for the whole evening... The starter and main was lovely but the dessert, a simple Eton mess was inedible... A bowl of mush with cream and a strawberry on top... They took it back and took it off the bill but it ruined the experience of a romantic meal."

"Service severely lacking! Popped in yesterday Saturday afternoon around 2.30ish) so not overly busy had no issues at being told bar only area, really not a problem. As ordering at the bar not an issue. Ordered food, drinks, starters arrived, mackerel pate was fine, lamb kofta, husband said was ok but cold... hadn't really finished when mains arrived, oh I said that's quick.. response was, oh forgot you had starters.... asked for vinger not a hard request) still waiting !!!!!! No check back, nothing. Not even when I went to get more drinks literally sitting in front of the bar. So just shy of £100. For 2. Plates were still sitting there when we left, after having finished our meal a good 40 mins earlier. Food was ok. But service seriously lacking. Won't rush back... Shame used to be. better"

"we both had steaks and they were so delicious. in the 50s I had many meals over the years. that was just one of the best meals we've ever had. great service, good food, including desserts. only what we did not see was the salate, since he was half an salate with a cheeseflake. beautiful taste, but meaningless, as not really fit with steak mushrooms and pommes. even the hot chocolate drink was great! we have never been to a miller and carter steakhouse, but we will definitely go back. absolutely super. 10/10."

"Fine food and Issues Decided to visit as the reviews were mainly great. Arrived to find it looked ten minutes after due to be open. They were just opening the door. I went in and quickly used the toilet, not flushed by last person that used it! It's a well laid out, well decorated restaurant. I chose the Escargots as my starter, well cooked with a very small amount of sauce sadly no tongs to hold the shell. They were 6 very nice molluscs. The main was an absolutely sensational tasty seafood salad. Interesting dressing on a generous variety of sea food and nice salad. I had ordered a lime and soda, it transpired they had no lime so someone went out to buy some and could only get lemon, which was ok. When it came to the desert I liked the idea of four of them but ordered the lemon tart. A few minutes later the lady running front of house (I later discovered it was her first day in post!! Returned hugely apologetic telling me sadly they had no lemon tart. I chose the cherry clafouti and a few minutes later the young lady came back devastated to tell me they had none of that either! I eventually had a brownie, which she didn't charge me for. Must confess it didn't excite and the supplied ice cream was quite crystallised as if it had been refrozen. The table next to me were told they had no more Escargot, so clearly they opened with only one portion available. Front of house was good, 2/3 of the food I had was great but clearly someone needs to sort out the kitchen too many problems to give customers confidence of availability. Was it worth the trip? Oh yes but they have some serious organisational issues to resolve."

"Had a roast here, was very nice. Only down side was we looked at the menu online to see they did Turkey, but when we arrived they didn't have any. a little bit disappointed as we picked this pla e for the Turkey Roast. Had the beef instead and it was lovely. My partner had the Lamb which was also tender and lovely. Will definitely be back again, hopefully when they are serving Turkey . Price per person: £40–50"

"I have been dining here for a number of years, fairly regularly. The personalised service by the family run business is always outstanding. The food is the main draw...and boy is it worth it. Having experienced many of the restaurants offering what would seem like a simple cuisine...only few have really mastered the consistent quality and taste. The recent change to their Chip supplier has propelled the chips to a whole different level... The battered Cod and haddock are absolutely super light and crispy on the outside with succulent white flesh on the inside. To round up....the traditional apple crumble with warm custard....will remind you of the glorious days of your youth....or be a pleasant surprise if you are tasting this British desert for the very first time... All in all a super place to enjoy the best fish and chips in London And oh....don't forget the pickled onion and gherkins!!"

"Just got home from having Sunday lunch here. Three out of the four of us had traditional roasts served with side vegetables and extra gravy and the other the pork escalope. For dessert a sorbet, a crème brulee and a chocolate marble moose cake. The food was all absolutely excellent although I should say the moose cake is only for those with a very sweet tooth. The venue is a lovely old timbered building with good décor and is just a nice place to be. And to complete the pleasure of the whole experience our server, Caitlin, was helpful and patient (we had a very elderly friend in our group) and very kindly sorted something out so that although we seriously overran our agreed time slot we didn't have to move. Definitely will go again on our next visit to Stratford"

"We had a family meal late lunch here, a couple of days ago. It was lovely! The other people in the restaurant were equally happy, there was a young italian family too. There is a good children’s menu. The oysters are excellent but tend to sell out. I had fish and chips; they were so well made the food did not feel heavy on the stomach. Check opening times and book in advance, if you want to eat here, as it gets busy. We did not book but luckily it was 45 mins to closing so we got a table. I can’t remember if there was baby change facilities here, but the very good maritime museum, 1 minute walk away, has some there. Staff were very nice. Chefs very professional. I would recommend this restaurant very highly… good for families were young children too."

"We decided to reserve a table for dinner here because we were headed to a concert at Whelan's. We were so impressed by the food, service, and atmosphere that we would have been happy to stay the whole evening. The service was incredibly fast, even on a busy Saturday evening at 5:30 pm. We will definitely be returning and next time we will stay longer. Thank you."

"We were surprised at how tasty everything was. We hadn 't expected much, but it was lovely and we had a corner table inside with a view of the squirrels running to and from the forest which was really nice. We got the bruscetta and the garlic mushrooms to start, and shared. They each came on two bits of yummy toasted bread so it was really easy to share. For the mains which I forgot to photograph!! we got the mushroom stroganoff which was really flavoursome, and the burger which was as can be expected anywhere really. The chunky chips on the side of the burger were AMAZING. We shared the raspberry macallan for dessert which I 'd really recommend. Creamy vanilla ice cream, crumbled shortbread and delicious fresh raspberry coulis all mixed in a tall sundae glass. We were with my dad and his wife, and they shared the normal raspberry macallan and there were differences in the ice cream and shortbread to feel comfortable that it wasn 't the same dish, but looked pretty much exactly the same. Would get it again!"

"The fish pie and steak pie was delicious. The girl taking our drink orders was absolutely terrible. I asked for a Tanqueray and slimline tonic and she looked at me as if I had two heads! I eventually just asked her for a Bombay and slimline but she brought a regular tonic. My husband ordered a pint of diet Pepsi and she brought a small bottle of regular Pepsi! There was a young man who came over a few times to check on us and brought our food...he was much better as he brought us refills of correct drinks ordered."

"The venue is beautiful, very spacious and the music is just at the right volume to add to the atmosphere while allowing to have a normal conversation. The service is excellent with quick,kind staff that will go the extra mile for their customers. The food is great but tend to be on the more expensive side with main courses around 20£-30£(with exception for the burger 14£ . Overall, we had a great experience there. Minor feedback for the owner: Please consider providing meat cutting knives when ordering meat dishes instead of the current ones that are more suitable for spreading jam."

"The restaurant boasts a beautiful dining area with a stunning view of the garden, making it perfect for romantic or family gatherings. The staff is friendly and accommodating, however, the service was quite slow despite there being only 6 patrons and multiple staff members. I ordered a vegetarian mushroom starter and main course. The mushroom starter was disappointing in size and taste for its high price of over £10. The redfish main course was dry, tasteless, and of poor quality. I would not recommend this restaurant for vegans or vegetarians. When I raised my concerns to the waiter, they mentioned that the chef would strive to improve in the future. Overall, my dining experience was mediocre and nothing exceptional."

"We (family of four with a teen pre-teen are staying in Childswickham just outside Broadway for a weeks holiday so thought we’d try the Childswickham Inn Brasserie as we could walk there through the pretty village, it has great reviews and it’s dog friendly. We booked for a Friday evening and were given our choice of tables in the very pretty garden area. Everything about the place is wonderful. The pub itself is a lovely country style inn with a very warm welcoming atmosphere. The outdoor area is beautiful with a lit pergola under canvas canopies and very comfortable chairs and roomy tables. The staff were genuinely friendly and helpful and made a fuss of our two Labradors. The food was superb. Honestly some of the best traditional-but-next-level pub fare we’ve ever had. I had the pie of the day which was lamb, husband had Cumberland sausages and the kids had burgers. All completely homemade, served quickly, fresh piping hot and with generous portions. Husband suffered from extreme pie envy when he tasted my dish! We couldn’t resist the puds so opted for sticky toffee puddings and chocolate brownie. Again, all homemade, generously portioned and utterly delicious. The food was so good we decided to spend our final meal here and opted for Sunday lunch. We all had sirloin of beef which were served with the best (and biggest! Yorkshire puddings we’ve ever had. We’re from Yorkshire and we know a perfect Yorkie when we see (and taste one and these deserve the highest praise. The beef was perfectly cooked, thickly cut and it melted in the mouth. It was served with a generous portion of roast potatoes, cheesy leeks (a personal favourite! , a selection of perfectly cooked veg lovely rich gravy. Desserts were equally fabulous. Genuinely up there with the best food we’ve ever eaten and exceptionally good value. I just wish it was closer to home as we’d be returning constantly! I cannot recommend this place highly enough. Perfect food, wonderful service, lovely ambience and surroundings and great value, more than deserving of five stars. Thank you for two wonderful visits, you were a highlight of our holiday!"

"Most disgusting food I’ve ever tried in my life! I’m not one to make a fuss and if I don’t like something I usually just grin and bare it but on this occasion I couldn’t. I refused to pay 30+ for 2 roast dinners which were inedible. Mystery meat which concerned me after trying, as well as rock hard cauliflower which was burnt on top! Also boiled cold parsnips and cabbage! An old persons paradise and don’t even get me started on the anaemic roast potatoes and watery gravy "

"If you are a gin lover and like smoked meats you need come here! Having prebooked a table we were taken up stairs and provided a menu. Luckily we were sat right under the specials board from that I instantly chose the fried haggis and then a ox cheek dish to follow. I also decided to sample a fire side cocktail which packed a punch of tequila. The fried haggis was sublime with it poached egg and was the perfect amount for a starter. Cream spinach was ordered to accompany my ox cheeks which turned out to be so tender! However it was so rich with the red wine sauce and mash that i struggled to finish. To complete the meal I opened the gin menu which was extensive. My friend had one that changed colour where I got a sake based one. Each one was carefully presented with delicate fruits .. Overall a very lovely place and a must to attend to in St Ives"
