"Extremely over priced for what I got! Because this is known to be a steak restaurant I was so looking forward to my meal. I ordered the 8oz sirloin and requested medium rare. Sadly it came out Extremely rare and I struggled to cut it with my steak knife. The bit I did manage to cut off was extremely chewy and no flavour. There was white sinews running through the meat. By the time the busy waitress could be told she offered to replace however my guests had almost finished so I said not to worry."

"We truly enjoy fine dining that doesn’t come with a pretentious vibe, and The Carpenters Arms was perfect for us! The food was outstanding – this place deserves recognition, perhaps even a nod from *MasterChef: The Professionals*. Some of our highlights from the meal included the satay sauce with the chicken croquettes, the confit duck leg paired with potato terrine on the duck breast dish, the crab tart, the homemade bread with butter, the truffle fries, and the delicious carrot cake for dessert. I highly recommend this restaurant for special occasions, and we will definitely return to explore their seasonal menus, lunch options, and afternoon tea. Thank you so much for a truly memorable meal!"

"This was a fantastic find. Totally unpretentious, the staff were all very welcoming. The food was also terrific, notably the Gold Rush mushrooms in port and Stilton and the Undertaker steak, chicken and ribs. Would highly recommend for a hearty meal and we will definitely go back the next time we are on holiday on the Isle of Wight In fact, we might even go back before we finish this holiday!

"I rarely write negative reviews, but I couldn't find a single reason to want to return. The staff appeared indifferent, and there seemed to be a lack of pride in their work and what they were serving. I sincerely hope that people don't waste their hard-earned money here; this place is best avoided."

"Went here to dine with a family member I hadn't seen for 3 years. I initially thought it wouldn't be great because my first choices were booked up, however, Bistecca superseded my expectations by a mile. The service was calm and very warm, especially with the manager (I believe it's a family-run business), who intentionally was a bit slow to take orders so the kitchen wasn't overwhelmed. The food was great, with the t-bone steak done perfectly to what I usually like (medium). The food was very quick coming out of the kitchen and nothing felt too heavy and the flavours weren't overwhelming. Overall, would I recommend this? Absolutely. Try it out!"

"Have known about the Champany for years and it's good reputation so we decided to try the Chop Ale House first. I'm afraid to say it was a big disappointment. My order of sirloin was over done, medium more than medium rare and the...fat was charcoal. The quality of the steak was not great, fairly chewy, we get much better steak from our butchers in the Borders. The service was exceptionally quick, no sooner had you finished your last mouthful plates were whisked away. In fact we were actually asked twice if we had finished when we clearly had not. There is a no booking policy so I understand they need to turn tables, but we were actually done in an hour for a course meal. I was also very uncomfortable with the uniform' for staff. Plain black trousers and shirt for the men which was fine but an absolutely ridiculous traditional servants' uniform for the women with a long white frilly apron, think Dounton Abbey, totally uncalled for, very sexist. Overall a disappointment for what was with only person drinking and a shared dessert. I'm afraid we will stick to Edinburgh."

"We went to Kassap last night for my husbands birthday. It was our first visit. The food was cooked perfectly, it was very tasty and generous portion sizes. The wine was really nice and the setting was lovely. We had a minor issue with servers forgetting water a few times but it wasn't a problem. They gave us limoncello at the end of our meal. They also brought out a dessert with a candle and sang happy birthday to my husband which was a really nice touch! We will definitely be back."

"The staff were friendly, although the service was a bit slow between courses. However, the support from the team was excellent. The atmosphere was nice and quiet. I was disappointed to find that the children's Christmas meal deal was offered in November and was nearly identical to the standard children's menu, yet priced excessively. Additionally, the brownie came without strawberries, which was a letdown. The adult menu, on the other hand, was reasonably priced with no increase for the Christmas season, so it's unclear why the children's meals are so expensive. Regarding parking, it's free for patrons for up to three hours, and there are plenty of spaces available. The restaurant has easy access doors and accessible restrooms for wheelchair users. Overall, for a lunch meal, I would rate the food, service, and atmosphere each as a 4 out of 5. The price per person was between £1–10, which is quite reasonable, especially with the ample parking options available."

"We had a lovely meal last night, lots of choice on the menu. There were 5 in our party, we all ordered different things and all cleared our plates. The staff were very attentive but not in your face. I would highly recommend it. The prices are reasonable too. I’ll look forward to our next visit.

"This is intended as a neutral, purely factual review. Good points the one meal we had during our 2 day stay was excellent and the room was basic but comfortable. Bad points closed for meals on Sunday evening even for residents, closed all day Wednesday and no cooked breakfast until 10am on any day. We were on a boating trip on the Oxford Canal, needing a room and meals on the Sunday and Tuesday evenings in that location, where there’s nowhere else to stay. Some things had gone wrong during our stay and we appreciated being offered in compensation wine and desserts free of charge with our evening meal on the Tuesday. However, we had to spend £37 in taxi fares to find a Sunday evening meal in Deddington, only 2 miles away and we were unable to have cooked breakfasts during our stays, as we had to depart before 10am on the Monday morning and the hotel was completely closed on the Wednesday morning. For us, cooked breakfasts are a big part of the pleasure of staying away, as we never have them at home. Overall we found this hotel unsatisfactory and we would not recommend it as somewhere to stay. When it’s open, the restaurant is good. Rooms: 3 Service: 2 Location: 4"
"Drove past this place too many times to count but never been in. So came in, food was amazing, fresh, hot, home cooked and it the spot, ample parking, couldn’t book a table over the phone but still got a table walking in. They get a high chair ready before you’ve already sat down, staff are friendly, problem sorted straight away. This is now our new “local” favourite place for food x Price per person: £30–40"

"I planned my trip to dartmoor to visit this pub. I went years ago and thought it was great. I waited with my dog and partner in the car for it to reopen at 6. Went in and was welcomed, they gave the dog some water. They took drinks orders. Soon after the lady owner started shouting at me saying to keep my dog in one area. He was on a lead so i said where would to like him to go? She continued shouting and saying she had people over for dinner and the dog is making the floor dirty. He is a medium sized cockerpoo and the floor is dark stone so we were confused as to why the dog wasn't welcome. She said we can go if we want which made us feel like we ought to. She continued shouting about the trouble we caused for making the floor dirty and wasting our drinks. We didn't say anything back to her yelling and she gave us no choice but to leave. I checked ahead and they say dogs are welcome. It was all a but bizarre and very disappointing."

"My expectations of this establishment have been dashed this evening.Mediocre steak. Poor service.When my meal arrived i was told my side order wasn 't available and I was asked if i would like something else instead but declined as my meal would probably be eaten by the time i received it.Payment was cash only and I was actually asked 'would i like my change? When presenting £40 for a £33 bill. How rude!!!! I always leave a gratuity wherever I go and even after all my comments tonight was no exception.Update following owners response:I think the best course of action would have been to let me know as soon as you ran out of spinach so that I could have made a second choice prior to my meal being served. So NO I didn 't 'expect you to pull it out of your arse ' as you so rudely suggested.As for the member of staff. There were two young girls waiting on tables who looked very similar so couldn 't tell you which.I suggest instead of wasting your energy verbally abusing anyone who dares to give a valid review. You would be better focusing on training your staff in customer service etiquette and learning how to run a business efficiently.Show quoted text"

"The food is incredible but I was so disappointed when I tried to amend my booking... basically, I had a table for 2 booked for tonight but the other person has covid. Rather than cancel, it was coincidental that another group I know were going to be at the restaurant at the same sort of time, so I asked if I could instead join their party of 4, making their table a 5. I was just told a flat no in a very rude tone and had to pay a cancellation fee of £48. It would have been better for the restaurant for me to have gone as I would have easily spent more than £48 on 2 or 3 courses. Frustrating and as much as I love the food there, I doubt I 'll ever go again."

"I called a couple of months ago to inquire about booking a table for my partners birthday. I was met with the rudest response from the man on the phone who told me they weren’t open on the date I asked about. I don’t mind being told that you’re not open on that date, I do mind being treated as if I am a stupid second hand citizen to you. Perfect way to scare customers off. So glad I didn’t have to go and experience the horrible staff in person."
