"I’ve been here before and been given the old waffle about them liking tips in cash but now they actually print on the bill “service charge not included. Gratuities cannot be left on credit or debit cards as 100% of tips are shared between staff” I eat out a lot at all types of restaurant I’ve literally never ever had a bill like this with this wording insisting on cash tips Since covid I just don’t carry cash and I would imagine many people do the same All other restaurants I have been to without exception either add a service charge or allow a tip/gratuity to be added to the bill and in both cases the total bill can be paid for by credit or debit card These restaurants all then split the tip/gratuity between the staff by including their share in their wages which then ensures that tax is paid on the tips/gratuity as the law requires so this still ensures that “100% of tips are shared between staff” as the bill wishes The tip/gratuity if paid in cash like at this restaurant still needs to be declared to HMRC and I assume the staff/restaurant do this The advantage of allowing the tip/gratuity to be paid by credit or debit card is that this separate disclosure to HMRC is not required as it is dealt with through the businesses payroll system and tax applied accordingly"

"Has this establishment changed owners. After my visit today I am gobsmacked as to how dirty the ladies toilets and hallway leading to them were . The actual toilets and hand basins were clean , but the skirting boards and walls within the toilets and hallway were very very grubby and stained . I have eaten here quite a few times and enjoyed the food previously. So glad I had not booked today as the attention to cleanliness has clearly changed. Disappointing"

"Dreadful Sunday Roast beef is all well done (no pink option). Roast Pork, but no crackling with it, so had to settle for Turkey and trimmings which was all lukewarm and came with vegetables that had been boiled within an inch of their life. Complained but seemed to fall on deaf ears. A free coffee at least should have been in order. Overall, more akin to a hospital dinner than a nice Sunday roast. Won’t be back"

"Basic, ‘lazy’ unoriginal food; great for those people who are more than happy with a pizza or a burger and chips and are not too discerning. We booked a table for my birthday as friends were visiting. The menu is nothing special, consisting of the usual meat pie, numerous types of burgers, fish and chips etc. Hubby opted for the ribs which came with a very dry cornbread (he thought it was stuffing of some kind! My friend’s hubby chose the liver and onions which comprised of a slab of liver, mash and half an onion. He like us, assumed the liver would be seasoned and sliced, not a whole slab served up. He said he found it unappetising. Vegetarian options are very limited; veggie burger, veggie sausage, veggie lasagne or butternut squash and chickpea dhal. I opted for the latter (as veggie burgers and sausages I can pick up at the supermarket for a couple of pound so why would I pay over the odds for something so unimaginative? The dhal tasted like it contained a Patak sauce from a jar with a few chickpeas thrown in and a chunk of roasted squash. I couldn’t taste any garlic. The meal wasn’t awful just average. I’ve made dhal at home many times and mine tastes far better. Longer to prepare but better. We don’t eat out that often as choices in pubs seem to be limited to so called British Classics, mainly burgers or anything else which is quick and easy to heat up. I do understand that it is a case of supply and demand and that unfortunately a lot of customers nowadays have very low expectations when eating out. Many think a burger in a bun with some fried chips is wonderful. Sorry this was not a meal to remember for us."

"We recently needed last-minute catering for a group of 20, and Butternut went above and beyond! The food was absolutely delicious, with fresh ingredients and beautiful presentation. Every dish felt crafted with care, and the flavors were spot-on. The team was so accommodating and made the whole process stress-free. Highly recommend Butternut for any catering needs or just a cozy spot to grab a bite. Thank you Food: 5"

"We visited here a few weeks ago and ordered steak which was like chewing cardboard but given the venue is clean and the staff were lovely we thought it must be a one off so decided to visit again today for Sunday Lunch and sadly wish we had not bothered as the food was abysmal. All the meals were clap cold and the roast potatoes were beyond anaemic and sloppy and had never seen a roasting tin in their life. The carrots were black and the Yorkshire puddings were rock hard and over cooked. The vegetarian meal was freezing cold in the middle and was sent back but the replacement was not any better. It was so bad we decided not to bother with a dessert which was included in the set price. We did complain and they did knock some money off the bill. The waiteress was run off her feet as they had a big function on and large groups of tables which is obviously a big issue. Don't take bookings if you can't cope with a large amount of people as it ends up with poor service and inedible food. We will obviously not be returning. The place has great potential if you have decent chefs and management who can whip it in to shape."

"I was out with a group of 10 people and we had one of the best restaurant experiences in a long time! the service was absolutely top notch all the time. the food was delicious and we could not believe what was a reasonable price the whole meal and drinks! probably the best carbonara I had. the personal even went out of the way to help us celebrate the birthday of our friend. we can't wait to come back."

"We enjoyed a Sunday roast beef and chicken, maple ham, confit chicken and apricot terrine, and a cheese soufflé. For dessert, we had Madagascar vanilla crème brûlée and pistachio soufflé. The food was outstanding and the presentation was fantastic, earning the chef a perfect 10. The service was excellent and the atmosphere was very friendly. I highly recommend this place if you want to enjoy delicious food in a welcoming environment, just be prepared for large portions. Parking was ample and there was a large selection of vegetarian dishes available. Overall, we had a great experience and would recommend the Sunday roast, cheese soufflé, and pistachio soufflé to others. The price per person was around £50-60 for lunch."

"spicy garlauchbrot is incredible (full green chili) that was perfect for us the gamberoni fritti made us a perfect starter, but the manzo cacciatore was certainly not made with filet steak. it is always a shame when the quality of the ingredients. are not as described that this court was one of them. we had both the main dish manzo cacciarore fillet steak pieces, although very nice was not fillet steak pieces. I mention this because this was our only problem that I am a metzger that is all my life long, I know how I say, though very nice, it should be sold as it is. the service staff was very good in a very lively restaurant. I mentioned my problems to our young server, but no answer from the administration wanted to cause no scene."

"So disappointed. I had been looking forward to brunch since the new management took over, but no way I can recommend this. We waited for some time just to get a menu. By the time the server picked up our coffee off the bar, it was barely warm. The syrup on the French toast had not a drop of maple, and we'd been assured that it was maple (I'm Canadian...I know! . The eggs Benedict came on a huge plate, very plain, no garnish, looking like the kitchen just didn't care, eggs quite hard, tasteless hollandaise... honestly, the version in the Marks and Spencer café is far superior! I really wanted to like this place, but not sure I'd even give it a second chance for brunch."

"We visited the restaurant on Tuesday night and were warmly welcomed by the friendly staff at the bar. They escorted us to our table in the dining room, where we ordered sirloin steaks and a bottle of wine, along with the delicious grape butter cake for dessert. The food was fantastic, just like the service! If you're ever in the Allerthorpe/Pocklington area, this is definitely the place to go. Highly recommended!"

"My husband, who grew up in the area, had a reunion with a high school friend who also married an American. After visiting the abbey across the street earlier that day, we were surprised when they suggested meeting up at this restaurant in the evening. I have always enjoyed the food in the UK, and this place did not disappoint. I was thrilled to see braised pork belly on the menu, which was cooked perfectly and served in a generous portion. I had no problem with the black pudding, as it reminded me of a Filipino dish. The apple fritter, which I initially mistook for an onion ring, was a nice touch. For dessert, I had the warm, sticky ginger toffee pudding, which was a perfect ending to the meal. Our friends were regulars at the restaurant and had a nice table reserved for us in the back. The ambiance was lovely and it was a great place to enjoy a meal with friends. It would also be a nice spot for a romantic dinner for a couple. Keep in mind that parking is limited and tight, so be prepared to walk a few blocks if you can't find a spot right away."

"Food was excellent, every dish was enjoyed. Service was poor. Started off well but after the starters were put on the table service took a noticeable down turn. Had to call over for drinks to which the waitress started walking off after one drink was said. After mains were finished, dishes just stayed on the table, could see wait staff just hanging around or doing remedial jobs like drying glasses. After maybe 40 minutes from finishing our mains, we'd had enough and asked for the bill. By then we still had most of our dishes still on the table and never got asked if we wanted dessert. Wait staff seem young and inexperienced, restaurant didn't seem particularly busy for a Saturday night."

"I had the lamb chops, which were a little overcooked and scrawny. To be fair, they had a very difficult job as it was a very large party of over 30 people. So getting everything bang on is not easy on timings for the chef. I will definitely go back again as the staff and atmosphere were great. I have no doubt that with sensible nos dining, everything would be spot on. Service: Dine in"

"I drove back from Felixstowe to visit a relative and decided to stop for lunch in Ipswich at around 11:45. I chose Millers for my meal. I started with a much-needed pot of tea, followed by a starter of sticky wings and a filet steak cooked to medium. The steak was perfectly done, and the crispy sweet potatoes complemented it well. The wings were tender and packed with flavor, while the dessert — a beautiful and creamy ice cream — was the perfect way to finish the meal. I was served by the lovely Diane, and I want to thank the chefs for the delicious lunch. I've already recommended this restaurant to my friends and family, and I can't wait to return with my children when they come back from university."

"I recently dined at this restaurant for Sunday dinner. The interior of the inn is unimpressive, outdated, and in need of a good cleaning. However, the meal I ordered, which included crispy vegetables, was quite tasty. Unfortunately, the green beans were served cold. I enjoyed the meal enough to ask the waitress if I could take the leftovers home, which included Yorkshire pudding. To my disappointment, when I got home and went to eat the Yorkshire pudding, it was soggy and untouched. The waitress had inexplicably separated it from the rest of the meal without informing me. When I inquired about this, I received no apology or offer of a replacement. Due to this poor customer service experience, I have given this restaurant 2 stars."

"Ramona took our order and frequently checked in on us, always giving us ample time to decide. She was prompt with the check-ins as soon as she understood what we wanted. Just two minutes before closing the kitchen, she asked if we would still like dessert. She also came to inform us when the bar was closing and offered us one last drink. Now, onto the food—it was really delicious! I had a perfectly cooked sirloin steak, just how I like it. My partner ordered turkey, which he thoroughly enjoyed, especially appreciating that it came with an ample and delightful selection of vegetables. Unlike many restaurants that list an array of veggies but serve only a couple of small pieces, here the vegetables were well-prepared and complemented the meal splendidly. My sirloin came with a lovely addition of garlic, tomatoes, and salad—though not as generous as the turkey's accompaniments, it was again perfectly balanced. The baked mushrooms were a tasty treat too, but the dessert truly impressed me. Generally not a dessert person, I found myself loving the brownie with Irish coffee ice cream, and the crème brûlée topped with cherries was simply outstanding, especially with the buttery cookie that beautifully contrasted the sweetness, adding a delightful crunch and a softer flavor. While the prices might be on the higher side, I believe there are good options available for students."

"Very poor, non friendly , slow to attend , did not make any attempt to engage the customer , very slow service. I could go on. Mussels started game with roughly six broken mussel shells, floating in a bath of tomato chopped onion with a few pieces of chilli, no accompanying bread, unceremoniously dumped on the table to start, was not asked if I enjoyed it just lifted when the waiting staff thought I had finished. Our first round of drinks (two cokes and bottle of sparkling water took that long to come we didn't get asked if we wanted another. Main courses tasted nice and was generous in size. First time I have went to an Italian based restaurant and there has not been a tirimisu on the menu.. £60 total and £5 tip which if I was on my own would not have left, I hope it goes to the chef for their efforts because it was much better than the waiting staff. Glad I am not a tourist"
