La Popote - Menu

This is our gorgeous go-to locally based amazing little restaurant. We have been coming here for the past 5 years. Would recommend to anyone.

Ridiculous prices. Good food but didn’t live up to expectations. Very expensive for very little. Even had to pay extra for a small jug of gravy. Lacking in atmosphere and no recognition made of a birthday celebration.

Amazing restaurant! My partner and I came here for valentines evening and couldn’t fault any part of our experience. From the moment we arrived we were treat as friends not customers, we had only eaten here once before, so it was nice to be made to feel comfortable. The food was outstanding, we had starters and mains which were truly mouthwatering.. Can’t wait to come back.. View menu

Very very expensive for very average food, definitely not worth the money, fresh green vegetables were NOT included on the roast only one carrot, potatoes were very dry and over cooked, starter took 1 hour to come and was very salty, wouldn’t recommend save your money and go somewhere decent. They also charged us an extra £6 for asking for extra gravy and gave us the smallest pot between 5 people. Staff were nice enough but didn’t ask if we would like any nibbles as we waited over 1 hour for the starter. Super poor experience.

This French restaurant exceeded expectations with its lovely cuisine and charming ambiance. We came on Valentines night and the place was busy and we were well looked after by the front of house staff. The musical accompaniment was outstanding. Food wise, each dish showcased a perfect blend of flavours, highlighting the culinary finesse of which we had been recommended to us by friends. The attentive staff added to the overall delightful experience, ensuring a memorable evening. The intimate setting and impeccable service make it a top choice for those seeking an authentic and delightful French dining experience. Highly recommended and will defiantly eat here again soon. As a couple we had a...

Words cannot describe how disappointed our party were with this restaurant. it certainly is not the restaurant. It was a few years ago where you were guaranteed to get good food and personal service. We went with friends for my birthday meal. We were taken straight to the table as there was no room to have a drink at the bar. Their didn’t appear to be anybody significant front of house – and considering the prices they charge. I expect a bit more fuss to be made. The menu is very limited and to be quite honest I struggled to find a starter that I actually would really like. The restaurant lacks ambience service and an interesting menu. I certainly won’t be going back there in a hurry, unless... View menu

I have been meaning to write a review after yet another wonderful evening and excellent food. To read some previous reviews they must have eaten at a different restaurant! To rate a one or two star is not in my view fair . We have only ever had amazing/ tasty meals. This particular evening I have to say WOW , amazing service as always , very welcoming, the food was OUTSTANDING. Beef wellington was absolutely fantastic. Our bill was just under £400 for the four of us including the service charge which in my opinion very deserving. My daughter and I had a cocktail each and her partner had a beer and a bottle of red with my husband and table water . The atmosphere was wonderful with a gentleman...

I booked a table for Christmas Day for two, the only time they had was 12.00. The menu was £150 each , we had smoked salmon which was nice, ballotine of turkey which we didn’t like. I know ballotine means boned and rolled but it was not sliced and came as one very thick piece with gravy and an accompaniment of the tiniest sprouts on a purée I think of parsnip, and a tiny square of stuffing. The waiter brought two roast potatoes each separately . The dessert was Xmas pudding and brandy cream. I had two cocktails and my guest two glasses of wine. There was also included a glass of champagne on arrival, and an amuse Bouche and an appetiser during the meal. There were only 12 people in at 12.00...

A high class perfectly cooked meal with fine wine in stylish surroundings with impeccable service. Couldn’t really ask for more! The best in local casual fine dining with a contemporary French flavour. Booking was easy on line with a follow up mail to check for food allergies and if our booking was for a special occasion. It was a birthday celebration. A warm welcome on arrival , a drink by the bar whilst we checked out the menu. We opted for the A La Carte but there were some appealing dishes on the menu for the week with great value two or three course options. The wine list was exceptional with a strong emphasis on quality French and catered for most tastes. Good to see the spring water w... View menu
